Re: Horrible accident on Bonney Rd. 2 bikes involved
Were they wearing gear?
I hate to ask for more details, but things like this can serve as an eye opener to all of us as drivers and cyclists. I'm really not sure if I'm grasping everything that happened. Did anyone survive? I know you're saying they were in terrible condition.. It seems to me that the bikes, although not necessarily at fault, must have been going at a decent rate of speed (not even necessarily speeding) when they collided, if the Durango and the bike caught on fire and 'burnt to the ground'.. What was the speed limit there?

I'm not sure if the black guy lived or not. He was talking and coherent,. but it is possible that he had internal injuries that I was unaware of. he did have one fixed pupil which is an indicator of something going on in their. The other rider died immediately. I figure he hit the Durango,. flew forward and hit and hit the top of the roof on the vertical plane of the vehicle and it simply cut him in half. When I went up there to see if there was anyone left in the Durango, I didn't first recognize it as a person. Foot was missing, as well as the body from the arm pits up. It was horrible. The black guy was wearing a helmet still and had a jacket on with jeans. Couldn't tell on the other guy.
I have a feeling that pictures will turn up of this... I was hanging out with "car friends" and some of them were taking pictures... tasteless, but human nature I guess.
I've looked all over for info on it as well but have been unsuccessful so far.

heard the true story from a friend that worked the accident and watched as it happened....the two guys on the bikes were actually drag racing down bonney doing close to 100 and the durango turned in front of them b/c he did not see them. thus killing the one dude and pretty much decapitating him and well the rest of the story is there

off topic kinda, but we were riding in a group of about 10 today from newport news to the oceanfront. Im really surprised that no one in our group got hurt or killed. we were all wearing gear and doing the speed limit, but cars were just cutting us off left and right, merging directly next to us and forcing us to switch lanes and shit. I don't think ill ever ride my bike down there again. people just dont pay attention. Thy are all in a hurry and seem to show extreme disreguard for human life. I dont think half of them even know how bad they could hurt someone on a motorcycle. Its terrible.
And the worst thing is that when people get ticketed (seems to never happen) for almost killing a biker, its something stupid like failure to yield or improper lane change.....not attempted manslaugher or somethign like that.

i remember when i was following my friend from his house to a meet in Nova, maybe 5 miles tops. some lady merged over and almost pushed him off the road and hit my passenger side fender. luckily i laid onto the horn and he punched the back window of the SUV hard enough to break the window, so the lady swerved back over, and we dipped, haha. people dont pay enough fucking attention. if i wasnt there, and she merged over, he wouldve been done for
