Worst motorcycle accident.
What's the worst motorcycle accident that you have or somebody you know has been in and lived to tell about it?

140 mph?! that's ridiculous! Did he hit anything, or just lay it down?

12 years ago on my Interceptor 500, heading south on our one way through a green light at 5th st. Lady in a Subaru wagon pulls out, not in front of me, but straight into me, I go through her windshield ass-first as I watch my bike do the whole slow-motion thing across 3 lanes and get run over by a 24' box van.



And the bitch says "I didn't even see you!"

3 cracked ribs, concussion, massive bruising and numerous lacerations and abrasions

The reason I quit riding on the street for almost 10 years and why I ALWAYS wear my "Power Ranger" gear when I get on the bike

Last week a deer jumped into my ~2 month old R1 on the trip down to Laguna on HWY 299 out of Redding I’m buying a deer permit and wiping those fukers off the face of the earth!

lucky I was going super slow on a back road, like 15MPH or it would have been even uglier…..

Didn't have to, her insurance paid my medical bills, bought my bike and we settled on 5g's for "pain and suffering and mental distress"
They had to buy the furniture co. new front tires and exhuast for their delivery truck. Dude in the truck straight freaked 'cuz he thought I was still on the bike when he used it for a speedbump, he was dead white until he saw me sitting on the sidewalk getting glass picked out of my back by an off duty emt that witnessed the wreck.

After this I only rode on the dirt for almost 10 years, and now I know why it's so squidlike to ride without at least my Armored jacket, double thick carhaarts and gloves. It took 4 years for all the glass to work itself out of my back, had funky little bumps that would appear on my back from time to time where the glass fragments would come to the surface.

About 6 1/2 years back a fresh newbie rider I was. Hopped on the freeway on my brand new Suzuki 500 with 4 months experience. Black mustang violently swung into my lane without warning, I panicked and locked up the front brakes doin about 70. Laid it down and slid across 5 lanes of traffic in Olympia rush hour traffic. Got up with some road rash and a big lesson learned. Noticed that as far as you can see in either direction that the only gap in traffic was behind me. God was looking out for me that day.

Tucked the front tire of a Seca 400 under the bumper of a small truck on I-10 downtown Phoenix while I was hard on the brakes. Catapulted my over the bed and past the cab superman style. Fair amount of rash on hands and legs. Wont mention the no helmet part...
Lesson learned: ATGAT and keep more space front and rear in traffic

A friend of mine got hit by a car, Downtown Seattle, at about 40 mph, guy blew a red light. I don't know the exact specifics, but he broke 2 bones in upper back, 1 or 2 in middle back, and 2 or 3 in lower back, Lacerated Liver, internal bleeding, snapped his Shin Bone (tibia), and I want to think broke his arm/elbow. Know he had to have surgery on both legs. He said at first he didn't think it was gonna be that bad, then tried to stand up...
That was 5 months ago, he's just now at a point where he walks without a cane (23 years old). He rode my CBR the other day, first time he's ridden since. Felt good to see a smile that big on someones face

Rear ended by a mini-van at a stop light and shoved into a pickup truck...the driver was busy making sure the condiments of her sandwich wasn't falling in her lap- and people wonder why I have contempt for cagers..

Overestimated how far I could lean a KZ1000, smacked guardrail really hard & couldn't hang on. I slid 150 ft, bike slid 450 ft. ER techs missed collapsed lung because of other broken stuff. When my wife arrived, she jumped all over them, said he is not supposed to be GRAY! Next stop ICU. 6 days in hospital, 7 months off work, 2 1/2 yrs physical therapy.

Thread was intended so people could tell their story. Maybe some can learn from them. I personally think these stories are miraculous. That is all.

I think it is a good reality check. Reinforces the need to wear gear and watch out for cagers. I don't think threads like these are bad, they are just eye openers.

Riding around Hagg Lake with some people from pnwriders and tried to play "catch-up". Went off the side of the hill into a tree. Broke my left femur and left arm. Couldn't see traffic nor could they see me down in the embankment so I had to crawl out (with broken femur and broken arm). I army crawled my way up the hill and waved a mile marker I found laying beside me. Ex-firefighter saw me and pulled over. He straightened and pulled my broken leg so blood could flow to my foot. Bruce Pryor saved my life that day.

Well I hate to say I join this club a long time ago. It was Willows racing formula endurance class. Ended up on my team mates bike because the plastic got mixed up, sever rushing by the mechanic to get both bike ready. 3rd lap in at turn 8 high speed sweeper, bike high sided, threw me over the front of the bike. The following bike coming threw at the same speed nailed me squar in the chest. Woke up in ICU a motnh and a half later with all my ribs broken, left colar bone shatter, heart muscle torn in three spots. I was told had 2 jump starts in life flight. Took me 6 years to ride again.

Its funny to me how many people get sand in their vagina's over this thread. Yet they would be the FIRST to post up a rider down thread, just so they can be the one to post it first.

Micheal - There are a lot of people who should be reminded every time they get on a bike. And if hearing someone talk about an accident they were involved in bothers a person that much they should stay off their bike. Because it CAN happen to any of us, anytime we get on to ride.
