It shows the motorcycle dude hanging from the trailer of a truck after hitting it at 120mph.

At the bottom of the email, the caption reads "Wear your helmet. He lived!"

He did not live.

These are very graphic photos.

This happened in Tulsa on 169 last year.

Moral of this story: IF YOU LIKE YOUR LIFE, DON'T RIDE A MOTORCYCLE AT 120 MPH!!!

Talked to one of the cops that ran this awhile back. Back not too long after it happened.

Ol' boy said the driver of the semi heard a thump, then saw a driverless motorcycle pass him at a sick speed. Furthermore, apparently a friend of the rider involved had recently (in relation to this incident) died in a motorcycle incident and questions were being raised as to whether this was potentially a suicide.

Either way, it was ugly to say the least.

His friend was killed the same way, one week LATER AFTER attending the funeral and no doubt seeing these pictures. Jeesh talk about having a learning disability. Sorry for the familes though.

At least it appears the airbag deployed.
