more like 100 km/h

@TongueKissinGators Agreed, this is well below 160

@MrUrnameis "rational and logical" are the key words to that paragraph.

There'll always be idiots, no amount of breeding has ever managed to rid the human race of them.

Just don't tar all of us good bikers with the same brush as the idiots.

The guy with the camera was sent to prison for manslaughter,cause the other guy died.

@lockheed08 I have no idea why a rational or logical human being that knows about the dangers of motorcycles would get one, then decide to overtake while turning on a blind curve, are people really that dumb or just plain suicidal.

Even in a car that would be retarded, so now we are on two wheels and think we are invincible, I don't get it. So many people get new bikes and know nothing about being proficient in terms of control and turning a bike, and go out and get owned:Darwinism.

@buddhistcamel the other guy was going 160

@Scarfoot100 The momentum involved in 2 vehicles colliding at 80mph is the same as 1 vehicle hitting a wall at 160mph. But in terms of damage to each vehicle it would seem you are correct, as the force is shared equally between the 2 objects. It would seem that momentum is the deciding factor in car crashes, more so than the kinetic energy.

[Scarfoot100]

@sandy123noodle the thought of the speed doubling for an impact of two vehicles is a popular misconception. The kinetic energy is dispersed between the two vehicles colliding. The impact is around the same as what the odometer reads. There are some examples where two cars crash into one another at 50mph and are compared to one crashing into a wall. The energy is transferred through each vehicle. I believe you can find this by searching "Does two cars crashing at 50 mph each = a 100 mph"

By motercycle, I assume you mean motorcycle*

[lockheed08]

what a moron, passing a car around a bend like that. and not even skilled enough to lean it through the turn

[sandy123noodle]

160 is the combined speed of the vehicles. Hitting a bike travelling at 80 when you are traveling at 80 also, is like hitting a wall at 160.

[alewis514]

maybe 160 is combined speeds of 2 vehicles crashing head-on.
