Fw: Her last call was from a new cell phone
Just got this in email.... don't know if repostahhhh

Her last call was from a new cell phone...
Do you see the motorcycle?

Now do you see it?

The Honda crotch rocket rider was travelling at approximately 85 mph. The VW driver was talking on a cell phone when she pulled out from a side street, apparently not seeing the motorcycle. The riders reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident.
The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them.
The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 20 feet from where the collision took place.
All three involved (two in the car and the bike rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at the Motorcycle Fair by the Police and Road Safety Department..
Pass this on to car drivers or soon to be new drivers, or new motorcycle owners AND ESPECIALLY EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO HAS A CELL PHONE!!!!!
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Save a life?
Stop talking on Cell phones and Texting while trying to drive.
The life you save may be your own..... or mine...

+1 for staged... the interior wouldn't be clean thats for sure...
It is a good argument for a shaped charge system to protect motorcyclists from car drivers though... I reckon a couple of kgs on the front of the bike and you'd be able to cut a normal sized car in half

+1 on RC30 poor bike...
+1 on it resurfacing every 5 years or so with a different story

Don't diss physics.
Assume the bike is traveling at 85 mph which is about 38 m/s and weighs 192 kg.
That means it has a kinetic energy of 138 kJ.
If the VW Golf was a giant bowling ball it would be rolling at 30 mph after the collision.
For comparison a .50 cal BMG round has a kinetic muzzle energy of approximately 15 kJ.
In the assassination of Alfred Herrhausen a copper plate of approximately 2 kg was blasted at an armoured Mercedes by 20 kg of high explosives at an estimated 2000 m/s.
The result is in the 4000 kJ range.
The (now deformed) copper plate punched through the passenger door, severed the mans legs, and I assume went out the other side. In the mean while the armoured Merc was picked up and rotated 520 degrees while doing a barrel roll

Granted the bike is much larger than a bullet or a supersonic plate of copper but these are serious amounts of force!
