"...Here's the jist of it: I was a passenger on my friend Sean's GXSR 750, we were going WAY fast on highway 550 (that means about 120mph), and my helmet visor flipped open, making me instantly un-aerodynamic, and ripping me off the back of the bike..."

thats not nice

120 mile/hour (mph) = 193.121 28 kilometer/hour

typo on her part, maybe.

if in fact that is true, and somebody correct me if i'm wrong, she was travelling at just under twice the max speed limit for freeways(65mph), right?

utter stupidity on the rider's part!!!

OUCH!

She's lucky she's not dead and all she got was those scars.

Jesus! If she was my daughter her boyfreind would be dead!

A helmet will not cause enough drag to pull someone off a bike. Either her or the rider were pissing about.

And going that speed with a passenger isnt all that. Aslong as its an open road, nothing to worry about.

ok have any of you really rode a rocket? i myself had to get rid of mine or i would be dead right now, i couldn't go less than a 125mph wherever i was going. and half the time i didnt realize i was going that fast..... but yeah if that was my daughter that dude would be dead


PEACE

Stick you hand out of the window next time you are doing 100 mph Whoosh your arm has just hit the window frame behind you.
now if you are on a bike (on 2 wheels) for a visor to flip up could causes drag or jerk her then she would could cause a wobble, does not take mush to panic then they are f***ed.


Personaly id blame the rider. I also agree if I was her farther the boyfriend would be F***ed up.
