Are Motorcycles Dangerous?

in #motorcycles7 years ago (edited)

When Wayne and I went to collect this :- https://steemit.com/vehicles/@africaunited/latest-import-to-sage-street

We saw this!

Barry , who is a Mechanic mostly doing Bikes had this Machine there, it looks like the front of the frame was cut off with an angle grinder.

Barry is a Member of the Hell Razors Bike Club on the East Rand and this Bike was sent to him by one of the Coastal Club Members to see what he could do with it!

Barry is also about to become My Favourite Son-in-Law as on the 19th of this Month he is marrying My Favourite Daughter, Shakira!

This Machine is a Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 , or should I say was?

Ever since they came on the market they have been one of the Fastest Bikes Around,

They easily exceed 300KPH!

The Rider was going up a Mountain pass fairly fast when on a Bend his Front Wheel hit a pile of Cement Powder ,obviously dropped from a truck .

No traction Down he goes sliding towards a Car!

Luckily he had the presence of Mind to kick himself off and away , while the Bike slid into a car.

Rider got away with only cuts and scratches on his one leg!

They are tremendously powerful with a fairly long Wheelbase , making them stable at high speeds.

Maybe not so great on a tight Race Track but very good for Drag Racing!

More Sad Pictures!

This is what they should look and go like!

Had to really look to find one without swearing on ?, as the riders were frankly, shocked at the Performance!

I Love Motorcycles but more than half of the Guy's I used to ride with when Young are long time Gone and I have injuries I have never fully recovered from!

@awgbibb,
I also ride Motor bikes! But I am trying to do it wisely! If mistake happens, it might be hard to recover! A very good lesson you shared to the community!

Cheers~

Over time I have seen many motorcycle accident. Never have I seen anyone come out alive. So I would say it is extremely dangerous.
Here are some stats
if you take a motorcar vs motorcycle accidents on ever km ride you are 35 times more likely to have an accident.

Motorcycle deaths account of 13% more that motorcars.

yes indeed sad, seeing that bike in pieces, but glad the guy is OK.

in my opinion motorcycles are dangerous in the wrong hands, depends who's driving, like me, don't trust myself with it. Will leave it to people who can.

Wow greet motorcycles my dear friend

Feeling sad after reading your post memorizing the unforgettable pain...
Motorcyle are apart of life excitement but it is too dangerous.
My best friend become a victim of serious accident and died at his very young age he is the only son of his parents.God Bless him..

Speedy motorbike gets dangerous when we drive careless .

Barry is also about to become My Favourite Son-in-Law as on the 19th of this Month he is marrying My Favourite Daughter, Shakira!
I wish luck for both of them, may both of them live a happy and prosperous life.
Riding a Motorcycle is Wonderful, but there are so many small things that can bring you down out there!
There are really various things which can bring a motorcyclist down, I really agree upon your saying. Even a pebble can bring a fast motorcyclist down.

It's inevitable really - you're balanced on two wheels with no protection other than a helmet, gloves, boots and leathers (which I'm sure you don't wear) going 300 mph. The law of averages says one dizzy spell or blown tire and your eyes are transplanted into another man's head. It's a fool's game with the only reward being the adrenalin high that comes from risking everything. I'd stay with women - they're equally dangerous but will only slowly wear you down unless you're foolish enough to marry one with martial arts training, in which case, I have no sympathy for you, lol

Yah ,the same thing our parents keep saying drive slow and use helmets,that is all they want us to do .That is all for our own safety purpose and as usual we never hear any word from them ...and this is what happens....

Glad that the rider is alive that is all matters.....

Wonderful article. I think your son-in-law will be the best, because he has golden hands. Thank you for sharing.

I am a teen and i love to drive bikes, as thrilling as they are they are much more dangerous than that. It doesn’t always has to be your fault to get into a fatal accident but because of some dumb drivers your life is put in jeopardy. I have had many incidents like that where they almost hit me.i realize when you are young the need for speed is thrilling but i am not a fool I always drive carefully depending on the roads situation. Such a nice bike destroyed and congrats on your daughter finding a man whom you acknowledge. Damn that’s one expensive bike lol I’d love to have one like that but our roads are made for dirt bikes haha thanks for sharing keep it up.

I'm a bike lover i had always a dream to get a super bike like Suzuki Hayabusa 1300.but when i scrolled down i said ooooppppsss it was a worst accident. i don't know what is the recent condition of that rider.

I hope Barry gonna repair this bike like new so soon cause Barry is a Member of the Hell Razors Bike Club.That's why this is not any matter to him.
But here you announced a good news, Barry gonna marry Shakira 19th in this month.Many many good wishes for this would be sweet couple.

Faster that you think. But i was not happy to see this monster in this situation.

you are really right sir @awgbibb motorcycle are very fev.. bt its very Dangerous
anyway i love motorcycle

Riding a motorcycle is one of the greatest pleasures you can experience in life, yet only a minority of people in the auto-obsessed Western world actually ride. This can be explained partially by the perceived danger of riding a motorcycle. Whether the severity of that danger is real or just a misconception is debatable, but let’s unpack some facts and figures about the risk factors involved with riding, and review some of the ways we can avoid becoming another National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistic.

yes @awgbibb sir some time its become pain & broken heart

Wow you have a daughter? Congratulations to Barry,so should I say the Suzuki was pimped? How does it look now?

Well they are not the safest thing that's for sure.
Anyways congrats on getting a Son-in-Law. :)

Motorcycle is a smart vehicle..... but sometimes it is dangerous.... if we not drive it carefully then accident will occur in any moment....

always we have to care for any kind of vehicle..not only for motorcycle...i have lost my father ,,for motorcycle accident 24 years ago..

whats the fault about bike!

It does indeed looks very cool by the way ;)

Dannnngggg that's what my bike looks like when I play Mario Kart lol

Scary stuff and excellent post :)

I love motor cycles and had a near-death incident which did not stop me from so doing. But along with a realization of my true identity, I put all that away.

As inviting as the exhilaration of motor cycle riding can be, it would seem to me that the danger involved far exceeds that of motor vehicles which provide protection in the form of impact absorbing surrounding material and other safety providing technology.

The use of motor vehicles in general raise our risk of an early retirement from this life phenomenally in contrast to per-motorized travel and should probably never have been tolerated.

As a sentient being, endowed with a single life, or at least only one we truly know of, and whose existence is facilitated by a history of predecessors who's efforts made it possible, along with all the magnificent comforts we enjoy in out time, and for those who believe in a higher intelligence, as I do, on a creator who has very specific expectations of us and the value we place on the life we have and the obligations we have to contribute to the well-being of all things and entities which afford this reality and toward our progeny, we should refrain from risking our health and life for the sake of excitement, entertainment, wealth or frivolity and honour our existence with beneficence, wisdom, sound judgement and the pursuit of worthy goals.

Motorcycle is love they need care and love too :)

As a person who has probably fallen off more motorcycles than anyone I know (#46 is a close 2nd) then you should be the person who knows!!

Keep well

Yikes that is really messed up! If he had not kicked away, he would have been in tatters!

Hayabusa’s are a stunning piece of machinery to behold. My cousin raved about the one he took the time to ride.

I suppose they are only as dangerous as the driver, lol.

it may be dangerous sometime but it is very helpful vehicle.

All always depend of how the driver plays but machines in general are not dangerous i think that hehehe. Regards

Awesome all videos, i agree with you its wonderful but sometimes carelesness bring you down.

i lo0ve motorcycle @awgbibb suzuki is really beautifull

i appreciate your blog.motorcycle riding awesome but it can bring a man down out there.

Amazing great post
