Powerful yes, but more gore than I was going to sit through.

Eh, just like the old Scared Straight videos.

Good message, said in a HORRIBLE way. Just like the Scared Straight program.

Well, if you ride a KLR, then it's a given.

crazydrummerdude · 05-15-2008, 01:57 PM

It wasn't that gory..

brents347 · 05-15-2008, 02:40 PM

Maybe not, but the thought of riding a KLR got to me!

Jesus christ.
Hows that helpful to motorcycle riders? The only thing i can see that 'safety video' doing is making people worried about a riders safety even more worried.

swingset · 05-15-2008, 09:36 PM

Fuck, I watched it. Both my bikes are in the Flea Market now.

Scared straight, I don't wanna die!

Might give some people pause before they go out and buy themselves a new 140HP toy and get themselves dead on it.

Nice, Not really graphic enough. I could of handled a little bit of Screaming. Never really get that though. Would be nice to somehow capture the sound too..

Best to watch this prior to eating... Great lunch time video..

Geez louise, I only posted this as a PSA since I got it in an email from a group of riders I am a part of.

I thought it was thoughtful and tastefully done and a good reminder for us all to always be careful.

Apparently I touched a nerve.

I appreciated it, Canuck. I've always thought it's good to have these kinds of reminders. Sometimes I get in situations where I've had less control than I'm comfortable with. I've just always been fortunate that other factors didn't turn it catastrophic.

viola-tor · 05-17-2008, 08:39 AM

Thanks for putting this up. I think it's good to get some rude reminders from time to time. Hmmmm, time to buy that Hi=Viz aerostich???

Here's bunch of crash pics, if you want MORE gore (esp. near the end, yikes!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWCybssC4Bk it's interesting to see that the majority are high performance sport bikes.

Def a 'be careful' reminder! Every time I see this kind of stuff I ride a little more cautious, so for me watching it is a good thing. It doesn't really scare me or make me not want to ride, just puts things in perspective.

Do people really need a video to tell them that motorcycles are dangerous?

I thought that was what moms(and dads) were for.
