There was a Youtube video, but it got taken down for some reason.

Guy lived, but still FUCK.

Good lord, no one wants to see that. No one watches motorcycle riding for the crashes, unlike NASCAR...

Why would he not watch the road while going 140 it just doesn't make sense

 

[El_Barto.]

Ive crashed going faster

 

[LoathesRaisins]

Watched the video earlier. It doesn't seem like he's doing anything close to 140mph. Then again, maybe he was and he is just stupid enough to turn around doing 140.

thats crazy, he almost got run over by the car he hit from behind. imagine driving along going the speed limit and feeling something smash into the back of your car, you instantly look and see a guy flipping past you in the air. its like an old cartoon.

that doesn't look like 140

 

[Ribss.]

That truly looks closer to 80. Still messed up though, keep your eyes on the road.

I've gone 120 on my bike and there's no way in hell you'd be doing anything but watching the road. It's so intense. Going fast on a bike seems like it's twice as fast as in a car

 

[Mr.Huck]

I think he got a flat 5 out of that, but the landing looked a little rough.

 

[PASKIINGSUCKS]

Seriously? you guys are thinking you can estimate speed from a grainy go pro gif??? OK.

Least he is in a full suit.

Unless that car is dead stopped in the middle of the freeway he was going way faster than 80...

Here's the video

Saw this on r/motorcycles a few days ago( the video) and the general consensus was that it was more like 100-110. Still enough to really fuck you up though. Really doubt he had good enough leathers to protect from getting cheese grated :/

I take it back- the owner of the mazda (car) posted too and inferred that the 140mph is about right here:

did anyone realize that this is on the way to Boulder, CO on the 25N? That's intense. I've driven underneath that exact sign before countless times. Never been so connected to such an accident
