When the price of your helmet is of no concern!
« on: February 06, 2008, 03:50:46 pm »
A truck was travelling down the highway at around 1 oâ??clock in the morning near Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Truck driver said he felt an impact, and it took almost a 1/4 mile for him to pull over to investigate.

This is what he found â?¦....

Wear your helmet!   -  Note: possible disturbing viewing

The motorcyclist was going at ~200 kmph and ran into the back of the moving semi-truck .... and miraculously survived ! at least according to this website, conflicting reports are however found on other sites.

It pays to wear your ATGATT -

02/02/12 - RIP Glen - the Arrow of Elliot and the little man with the big heart that truly was larger than life.

You have touched us and left us better for having known you - even if it was only briefly.

For grabbing the moment and living the day It's been way too early that you were taken away
