I forgot to post this

The day I took LuckyL's bike for it's roadworthy test, I drove past this. The accident recovery yard is on the way to the testing grounds.....Suzuki 750 - capable of speeds in excess of 240km/h.
Front end broken off from the rest of the bike. Frame actually snapped off at a weld! Factory error?
The car that the biker hit. It was not roadworthy, had 3 smooth tyres, one of which has the steel showing through! Driver was drunk, and skipped a red light.

The biker was a 17 year old, no license, not even a learners license, so his father was immediately arrested, and spent the night in jail for allowing his son to ride the bike!
He must have been doing in excess of 180km/h, judging by the damage to the bike, and the car. So even though the driver of the car was at fault, it's a no contest situation.

The 17 year old was killed on impact, in fact, his head, still in the helmet, was recovered somewhere underneath the car - decapitation on impact!

Salagatle!
(Update 23/10/2008 - the local rag says he was 18, attended the same school as the kid that was killed a few month ago by the scholar brandishing the samurai sword at school, and no mention is made of his license, or the fact he was decapitated. It does say he flew more than 25 meters in the air, and hit another car. So, the facts as related above, which were shared with me by someone who is attached to the recovery yard may be off the mark, may be right.)
