wow bro, thats one messed up thing to say...Rip to the riders.

 

[GreyGhost]

Wow, they didn't even get to the first corner, tragic. RIP riders.

It looks like the first rider had a mechanical issue off the start and was easing over when he got hit from the rear. The guy behind likely had his front off the ground and couldn't avoid. These bikes basically hit huge speeds in seconds.

Yeah, I had read on another website one bike stalled. Apparently this isn't unheard of, and their have been other serious accidents exactly like this. Others are saying it's the problem with a 'standing start'.

We even had it happen here at home. I smashed off the left side of my motor and knocked the stopped person over to the left, right into Kevin Grahams path. He and stopped rider went flying, luckily we all walked away. The worst part was Colin laughing about it.
