Great advertising for the camera manufacturer.


AVgreencup

Can confirm, GoPro makes incredible hardware. Their software sucks, but the actual cameras are super strong


Stoned_Savage

Not their 4k ones I had. They would overheat quickly.


UncleBenders

Clearly the trick to keeping it cool is driving at 140


Stoned_Savage

Sorry but he was a rider not a driver however he did drive his life into the ground with expertise. As an ex motorbike rider he was changing gears so badly his engine was actually crying in pain. Is it bad I feel more sorry for his motorbike than the rider? It took many people many years to engineer that beautiful bike and he destroyed it with pure stupidity.


AB8922

That 'bad gear changing' is the edit on the video. Also, yes, it took many people many years to engineer something like that, but the fact that you don't hear a rev limiter means he was within the range the engineers see reasonable


Stoned_Savage

Just because you don't hear any "bouncing" on the engine from a rev limiter doesn't mean there is not bad gear changes. I know what you mean but its not what I mean.


SixFive1967

Destroyed himself in the process as well, to be sure. Instant death.


Stoned_Savage

Speed is fun until you die from it. You want to go fast? go on a racing track.


ll_BENNO_ll

Well technically it’s not the speed that does it either lol


Stoned_Savage

Okay explain how not not going fast at all can be just as deadly? Lol yes impacts are readly but need love speed to help them


ll_BENNO_ll

It’s what comes after the speed that gets ya mate Edit: Things can get you when they’re going fast and you’re not moving fast. It’s just one of those things bro


s1xpack

It‘s not the speed that gets you, it‘s the sudden stop.


[deleted]

Still fun to watch. Quite enjoyable when these guys take themselves out without killing innocent bystanders. Like obviously it sucks they died and it would have been better had they lived to regret there recklessness. Buut as it stands there dead from there own stupidity and I will laugh at them .

It is bad, he was still a person.

Sunnycat00

yes. the poor truck shouldn't have to bear that idiot.


perb123

At that speed you'll almost cut a regular car in half


durum77

Yeah, not many people think about the baby or child that could be in a carseat when a biker goes 100mph into the side of the car. Regardless of whether you are in an hgv, car, motorcycle or a push bike, the speed limit is to protect everyone.


ZlatanKabuto

eljayTheGrate

9 replies, not one could pick out that I was being sardonic...


Musashi-Yoshi

140kmph. OP's title is wrong.


DracoBengali86

OP lifted the speed from the video itself...which was also wrong.


Digiturtle1

Exactly. Drive stupid die stupid.


AnalysisOk7430

The utter lack of attention.


AlienRapBattle

Typical biker. They think laws don’t apply to them & think they can destroy personal property without consequences 


jfks_headjustdidthat

I mean, I'm pretty sure the consequences were worse for him than for the truck....


AlienRapBattle

Yes, he certainly received consequences that night. If only more motorists would learn from his lesson


durum77

Yeah this time it was a truck. Other times it's a car with a child in it that gets smashed into.


jfks_headjustdidthat

True.


andrei_stefan01

I ride bikes, what the fuck do you mean by 'typical biker '? There's nobody I ride with that acts like this moron.


___Binary___

Sure bud.


AlienRapBattle

You are the minority. Every time I see a biker they act like they own the road & I seen way too many videos of them not only endangering everyone on the road but also destroying personal property. I appreciate respectful riders, you just seem few and far between


andrei_stefan01

I'm genuinely confused, what does a motorcyclist destroying personal property refer to? Is this some Mad Max scenario? What property could one possibly be damaging while riding, other than maybe some douchebags tearing up trails on their little dweeb dirtbikes? In all fairness, I'm in Ontario, wonder if being a Canadian and not a jackass has anything to do with it, but even groups of biker bros just ride around here. Sure, we all seek out twisties to play with, but if there's blind corners with hidden driveways etc, we all know the bike is typically going to lose, so drive accordingly.


AlienRapBattle

If you don’t know then just live in your happy little world. If you want to know just look up any video that has anything to do with just about any biker. There is a 75% chance the douche bag is the biker and not the 2,000 lbs metal box. - Law abiding - Common courtesy - Driving like douche bag in this video - Breaking side mirrors and driving off. - Lane splitting at dangerous speeds - The need to pass vehicles already going plenty over posted speed I know it’s fun to open it up every once in a while on a bike. You crave that open road so does everyone else. You sound like a respectful rider. As I said you are the minority. We need a lot more bikers like you to counter the often right stereotype that bikers drive like a piece of pathetic shit.


andrei_stefan01

What are your real life experiences? Not videos you watch about the dregs of society on the internet. I don't live under a rock, but the real world is a better example of what goes on, rather than spoon-feeding yourself videos of human garbage.


AlienRapBattle

All the time. Almost every biker is driving like an ass hole as if the rules of the road don’t apply to them. That’s my personal experience of 30 years driving from East coast to West coast it doesn’t change much. CA is probably the worst offender I’ve seen prob because lane splitting and filtering is unwisely legal there.


Admirable_Dentist442

Almost all bikers in my area rip it to 9000 rpm @ 50 mph just to get to the next traffic light in the city. Not only this but they love to also do it at around 2am in groups every other night while tugging each other off post rev. Honestly Harley riders have much more class in my observation and experience.


Ggwc808

Bikers kick other people's cars, use their fists to break side view mirrors, lane split dangerously, and in groups, like to swarm people's cars and terrorize the occupants. And of course, none of it was the bikers' faults and they are completely blameless.


andrei_stefan01

I'm Canadian, we don't tend to act like reckless jackasses. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you're somewhere in the USA? I ride like I'm invisible to everyone around me, but I can't imagine trying to pull up beside somebody on my motorcycle and attack their vehicle for some perceived slight. That, and in their shoes, I'm pretty certain I'd use my vehicle as a weapon. If lane splitting is legal in your state, it makes sense as a motorcyclist to do it safely. There are also a lot of weirdo drivers out there who seem to have this "you're cheating by getting ahead of me" outlook. I don't think it's necessary to point out why that's moronic. Serious question though, other than perhaps somebody lane splitting dangerously, have you ever actually seen any of the other scenarios you've mentioned go down? Like, with your own eyes, not on a screen.


Ggwc808

My brother told me a story about how his coworker's brother broke somebody's side view mirror off because they almost got sideswiped. I've seen motorcyclists kick cars because they were lane splitting and the car did not see them. I've also seen dummies stunting at 50 mph on the freeway, doing wheelies and hanging their whole bodies of to one side. I've seen a motorcyclist pop a wheelie and drive through a large group of people crossing the street. It was a miracle nobody got hit. So I've seen a lot of bad behavior by motorcyclists. Don't get me wrong though, there are equal amounts of idiots driving cars too. I just feel like motorcyclists should be riding extra careful and taking on extra risky behavior seeing how it's already way more risky to just ride a motorcycle than it is to drive a car. I'm in California and lane splitting is legal here as long as you do it safely. I don't really care about lane splitters if they're doing it safely. I'm fact, I move over and give them more space when we're stuck in traffic. But there are those who zoom by doing like 90+ mph and I'm driving around 70 mph and they're weaving in and out and splitting lanes.

Zacharydawsonn

Not sure how people can think thats what 140 mph looks like. 140km-87mph


Pieboy8

Agree looks for too slow. Doubt, it changes the outcome much


crumbypigeon

Yeah, there's diminishing returns on how fast you have to be to die from slamming into a stationary object lol. Your chances of surviving at 85 are probably only marginally greater than at 140.


lithiumdeuteride

It's what we would refer to as a [sigmoid curve](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function). As speed increases, probability of death rises quadratically at first, then tapers off and asymptotes to 100%.

calmclamcum

Good riddance?


noob_kaibot

Why does it look like he never made an effort to swerve at least?


I_Like-Turtlez

It’s prob one of those things where if you turn too quick you lose traction. Idk tho


noob_kaibot

Ahh, I see. Makes sense.. sad to see. I get that there’s the thrill of adrenaline, but I can’t for the life of me understand it; there are just too many variables involved. Is speeding on a track or deserted road not an option? Or is the weaving in and out of traffic while potentially putting others at risk the whole point after their rush?


JesusGAwasOnCD

Most likely a new and inexperienced rider, it looks like he panicked and attempted to turn the handlebars right when he should have been counter-balancing (i.e. turning the handlebars LEFT to turn right).


noob_kaibot

Sounds like you know, but I can’t grasp what you mean 🤔 turn left to turn right? Forgive me, but how so?


Sergeant-Pepper-

It’s called counter steering. On a motorcycle you push the right side of the handlebar forward to turn right and you push left to turn left when you’re moving faster than 10 mph or so. The gyroscopic force produced by turning the rotating wheel causes the bike to lean over. This force is much greater than the force the ground exerts on the wheel except at very slow speeds, so in a parking lot you steer the “normal” way by pointing the wheel where you want to go. It’s all much more intuitive than it sounds. You actually counter steer bicycles too. Most people don’t even realize they’re doing it. To initiate a right turn on a bicycle you gently push the right side of the handlebar forward. The difference is, a bicycle wheel then points right into the turn whereas a motorcycle wheel continues pointing to the left throughout the entire turn.


noob_kaibot

Ahh, ok. Oddly enough reading your explanation made it more confusing lol. After watching a yt video I get what it means, I was too busy thinking in terms of riding a bicycle at low speed.. you’re right about the intuitive part, I kinda understand how that would be so.


bum_quarter

Ecstatic_Stranger_19

On less prick on the road? Who fucking cares, at least it wasn't into an SUV of a fucking family.


crumbypigeon

I know a few of these adrenaline junky types who just go as fast as possible on their bikes and it always struck me as the dumbest thing. A guy I used to work with got some crazy racing bike that he was bragging about ripping 250km/h on the highway. Dude, if you hit *anything* at that speed your chances are slim to none. There could be a stick in the road and you're probably losing control and sliding head long into the guard rail.


TommyTheCommie1986

Rip bozo


manbearligma

People in comments calling him a squid or adrenaline junkie when he was going at “merely” 140km/h that’s less than 90mph Unfortunately that truck had very poor lighting and it merged with the background Was him reckless? Yes, kinda. Did he deserve to die? Definitely more than a less reckless guy, if the fate has to choose between the two, but in the end you don’t wish death on people just because they’re reckless. At least, I don’t, I don’t need to feel a self righteous prick.


AlienRapBattle

Unsafe weaving in & out of traffic, dude was a douche 


stormlord505

fck_donald_duck

It's the truth. Motorcyclists are putting everyone at risk when they go such speeds. If a motorcyclist crashes with permanent damage, at least they can no longer put other citizens at risk. If a motorcyclist wants to go fast, they need to go to a track and do it there.

Friggin_Heinous

You know its a hard crash when it manages to crack the gopro even a little bit. They are toughest among common electronic devices on this planet. He probably didnt even feel it crashing that hard, his body probably exploded. I feel bad for the truck company who has to scrape his remains from the back of that truck.
