holy repost batman.

He died. Traveling in excess of 120mph. The cops didn't stop the truck - he stopped on his own and called the cops.

the first place that got posted had the pics pulled out of respect for the family and the guy since he died. beyond that all the other posts, emails, and slideshows are just people making up stories.

Except the newspaper that published the original article over a year ago and had the above information in it.

I love it when " witnesses reported that whites motorcycle appeared to be going at least 120 mph when it crashed"
he may have been going that fast but I seriously doubt they are good witnesses at speed varification.

my bet would be more like 85-90 a 30 mph difference would still have the same results- but not be as glorified to make us all sound bad-

then again he could have been doing 150.......

Those truck doors are freaking hard. I couldn't knock one in with a baseball bat or crowbar. If he was doing 120, it would've been with the truck stopped, or slamming on its brakes just before.
