Once I was safely across the intersection, I continued to pursue the motorcycle. The motorcycle approached a white Ford 150 traveling north on State Route 23 and attempted to pass it. The driver's helmet struck the driver's mirror on the Ford F-150 and he lost control of the motorcycle. The motorcycle traveled off the left shoulder of State Route 23 and struck the ditch drain. After impact with the drain, the motorcycle vaulted into the air, struck a tree, and the driver was thrown off the motorcycle. The driver was thrown across Burton Street and into a barrier in the parking lot of the post office. The driver struck the barrier, and was decapitated. When I pulled in the entrance of the post office, I observed the driver's head and motorcycle to the left of the barrier and his body to the right of the barrier, near the front door of the post office.

Wait. The guy hit his head on a truck’s side view mirror and that didn’t knock him off his bike and then the bike hit a drainage ditch and THAT didn’t knock him off the bike and then the bike went vaulting through the air and THAT didnt knock him off his bike and then the bike hit a tree and that finally knocked him off his bike? Damn, dude. That grip strength must’ve made for some quality “me time”.
“””Decapitation renders the helmet rather useless.”””
Not at all. It keeps your head together which makes it easier to identify who you are.
Naw, it’s still in the helmet.
What’s on the road, a head?
It was a wild last ride.
The Lopper!
Great minds think alike. See post 6.
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a running bet.
Gotta hurt.
I remember Gov DeSantis questioning the risk assessment of a guy who rode his motorcycle wearing a mask (Covid) but not a helmet.
“HEY! I found this black head in the parking lot; should I call Benjamin Crump?”
So what does this have to do with a Ford Mustang GT?
I stopped riding when I was sitting in the left turn lane and a fat lady talking on the phone cut the corner in a Suburban and ran over my bike.
Somehow, I leaped straight in the air and was not hurt.
She rolled right over the bike and never stopped, and presumably never noticed.
By the HEB on Wadley and Midkiff, in case anyone here is from Midland.
It will even float in water!
Wasn’t the copper in the GT?
“”It will even float in water!””
And it makes cleanup a lot easier.
Just a flesh wound.
It was a wild last ride.

Bet he didn’t remember one thing about it.
