This happened just about 4 - 5 miles from our house.  What a terrible outcome for a momentary lack of self-control!

Guard rail and motorcycle dont mix, dont have to be a sporty to make that mistake, just ask Big BF.  He wasnt really pushing if only 100 mph, most sport bikes exceed 150 easily.  I know of one that at 180 will still be trying to pull your arms out of socket.  Its the looking back over the shoulder and shouting watch this that will get you every time.

 Bet that bike slid more than 50 feet too. Sad too that many people will blame the sportbike and not the poor judgment of the rider. I hate it for the young man but I see a lot a this type of behavior and wonder how there aren't more accidents like this.
