Requim For a Biker (http://www.livevideo.com/video/Maxxi/E737D6A3377A4C66A864957B8E39BE3E/requiem-for-a-biker.aspx?m_tkc=2081269)

Be safe this season people.

well that was the most depressing thing I've seen all year

yea now you know how i feel.

was a good video. wish we had a translation of the last 3 mins.

just to note, that one hazy video with the car that pulls right out in front of the biker, then the cop car pulled up, that was a bank robber being stopped by police on his getaway vehicle the police had just provided for him.

Thank you for that post! Depressing yes, but an excellent reminder. I've added it to my favorites and hopefully I will watch it from time to time. While watching I found most of my thoughts where of my family and how they would be affected.

same here...i was like, i wonder how that would affect my family if it happened to me....that was a depressing short though....

Man, just wanted to say thanks, a tough one to watch but the humbling I needed.

This is why we say wear gear, practice safety, respect the road, and not one of us is invincable!

A definite reality check! Thanks for Posting

Great post deffinetly a good reminder to keep your head on a swivel at all times... Just a thought maybe this should be posted in the new member area for those new to riding to kind of give them a heads up on how much people in cars don't pay attention and to never ride outside of your limits. Just a thought

Found this in the comments section for the video....Seems accurate to me

For those interested a simple translation of the text at the end:

This movie is intended to warn drivers of the possible hazards on the roads.

1 out of every 100 motorists rides a motorcycle.

in 70% of all accidents between a MCmore... and a car the driver said he didn't see the MC or saw him too late.

still too little drivers think about MC in daily traffic.

Riders must also take heed of their vulnerability.

A rider is vulnerable.

Compared to a car a MC has more difficulty in evading sudden obstacles such as a bad road, branches or animals

Car accidents have a mortality rate of 20%.

MC accidents have one of 60%.

Because of their size MCs seem further away.

Riders often brake on the engine which does not make the brakelights flare up.

In MC rider jargon (loosely translated) crashbarriers are also called Guillotines and frenchfriesslicers...(I prefer eggslicers)

slippery roadmarkings on wet roads are disaster for twowheelers...

Look, twice, save lives, motorcycles are everywhere.

In memory of our friends...Riders...

Maybe I'll slow down a little.

i had the sad opportunity to attend a rider's funeral this past year, and it put everything into perspective. I saw first hand how the mother sat in the back of the room staring into space, and how the girlfriend couldnt let go of her late boyfriend's hand. I saw how the family reacted, and how lives can change instantly without notice. I now ride with him in my mind and am extra careful with everything. It was the worst feeling ive ever had walking into that funeral home, and i never want my family and friends to experience that. thank you for the post.

I want to know what the last part was saying, if anyone wants to translate?
