5. Rider was definitely on the bike on impact and was still on the bike when it slid to the middle of the road. Rider gets off his bike, on fire, runs into the bushes. Emerges from the bushes a few seconds later, still on fire, tosses helmet, starts stripping and jumps back into the bushes. Still on fire.
By now, other people are arriving and helping him out. I'm sure the family doesn't need this video out there. Only me and my friend have the video and I'll be calling the officer that gave me his card.
| if you heard vroom vroom before impact and it sounds louder, then most likely it is a downshift. but when you panic, it could also be an acceleration when you are trying to pull in the front brakes (bad hand positioning on throttle).
but i would imagine it is a downshift to try and quickly brake as much and as fast as you can when you see an object you are about to crash into. possibly lost control of the bike somehow on that road before he hit into your car.

As a former rider who hung up the helmet and gloves after lowsiding at 120km/hr: I definitely feel for the rider and wish him the best possible recovery.
As a current white GTI owner myself: That sucks Ed, hope ICBC gives you fair value.
Also, is my white GTI cursed too like the others here? :/

As terrible as it is what happened to the rider and I hope he pulls through and recovers well.
I can't believe people would nitpick on how OP worded his tweet and even give HIM shit on Facebook for something that he literally had no input on....
Like, you people aren't trained EMTs or burn specialists, you weren't even there... I bet half the people that are giving Ed a hard time would just whip out there phones and record shit. OP did all that he COULD do as everything that could have been done was done already.
I apologize if my post seems insensitive to the rider, that was not the intent of this post, I cannot stress that enough.

In case anyone is curious... Quote:
METRO VANCOUVER — A motorcyclist who slammed into a parked car Friday morning on Shell Road in Richmond is expected to face a long recovery after sustaining severe burns.
Cpl. Dennis Hwang of the Richmond RCMP said the incident, which happened in broad day light, shortly after 9 a.m. in the 2500 block of Shell Road, may be a result of speeding.
The 2015 KTM racing motorcycle burst into flames when the fuel tank was compromised. Notably, no one else was reported injured.
"The male in his 30s was brought to a local area hospital with extensive injuries due to fire. He is expected to recover but it will be a long recovery process," said Hwang.
Alcohol not believed to be a factor and the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS) is on the case, said Hwang.
"We're thankfully to anyone who was able to render assistance," said Hwang.

Back when I did a lot more First Aid work and training, I learned about the Rule of Nine to quickly estimate the amount of surface area affected for an adult body.
You can divide up the body into 11 zones that roughly equate to 9% for each zone. Arms 1 zone each, Legs 2 zones each, torso 4 zones, head 1 zone.
If that 70% number is accurate. to give you an idea of how much surface area that is, that roughly equates to 8 zones. Both sides of the entire torso, both arms, and both legs down to the knees for example.
It puts the severity of the injuries in a way that's more understandable than just numbers.
I hope he's got all the support he needs for his recovery.

From what I have heard, he is a well respected mature rider and the accident was an accident and he wasn't carrying a gas can in his lap.
There is even a chance he is a fellow RS member. | This is the information I got from reading the whole thread.
The rider is a fmaily man as well as a repsected mature rider, from what RS User SumAznGuy heard.

I'm not trying to put the guy down obviously, I am genuinely wondering - under what circumstances does a sober person riding a motorcycle crash into a parked car in broad daylight? To the point where the bike breaks apart (fire notwithstanding - that could happen under strange many circumstances)
I'm not a motorcyclist, so I have no idea how this can happen if the rider is being 'mature' and riding within reason.
Maybe someone can clear this up for me...

Bike could have had a mechanical problem.
Could have set a flame before it hit the car.
Tire could have punctured.
Maybe he got stung by a bee in his eye.
There's so many things that could have happened.

I'm not a motorcyclist, so I have no idea how this can happen if the rider is being 'mature' and riding within reason.
Maybe someone can clear this up for me... | When I lowsided my motorcycle at 60km/hr 10 years ago, I clearly remember a puddle of gasoline that the fireman had to clean up (nothing was on fire; they threw sand on it to soak up the liquid and then shovelled it away).
I didn't hit anything else, and when I inspected my bike after the accident, nothing was broken except for the fairings and a scratched crank cover. I'm pretty sure the gas just probably just leaked out the top of my tank at the fillhole.
If the bike actually hit a car, there could be lots of ways for the bike to break apart and leak gasoline everywhere. The fuel tank is completely exposed afterall.
Anyways, hope the rider pulls through.

I accidentally grabbed too much front brake.
When I brought the bike back up, gasoline came out of one of the drain tubes.
Good thing my bike is neked and has sliders so no damage.

Looking back at what evidence is available to me, there's no reason to conclude that speed was involved. RCMP may have more evidence though, and they did say that speed "may have" been involved. Looking at the pictures, it all looks like fire damage... So I guess it could have been a 'lowside' as others described (this is the type of thing I was looking for as a non rider, thanks)
Also according to a comment left on global by one of the people assisting the guy, he said he hit a rock.
The whole thing kind of sucks  | |

Gas coming out of a dropped bike is very common. Whether it's from the tank vent system, or overflow of the carbs getting tipped over. It only take a tiny bit of fuel to get a bike aflame. Of course it sounds like in this case the tank must have been ruptured to cover the rider in fuel
Edit: skinnypup, go look on global or cbc or any news site. 99.999% they put speed as a factor with motorcycles. It's just a bullshit blanket term
