Death on a Harley?

Hypothetically speaking, if one had finally decided that this world was
really not worth the effort, and one fancied going out in a blaze of
glory on a Harley, what would be the most sure-fire method?

 

Lane splitting in Texas?

 

On a bank holiday?

 

Buying a Harley should be sufficient.

Failing that, handcuffing yourself to one and riding it like a sprot
bike, along say, a canyon road, would probably do it. "highway" 23,
south to the coast would be almost surefire.

 

Wouldn't a V-Max be a better choice?

 

At a bus stop?

Pillion, with Nigel Eaton at the controls.

 

Remove an easily manageable part[1], such as a foot peg, & drop it on
your head[2].

it.

Dress up as an arab and ride it at speed towards the gates of a US airforce
base, holding a gun and a wearing suicide bomber's belt.

Have the pick up towing the trailer drive under a real low bridge at
high speed while you are sitting on your bike.

 

try to go round a corner?

 

Tour Iraq on it wearing the US flag as your patch........

 

Is there something additional that you'd like to share?

I guess that refitting the Harley with all the OEM's stock
parts(read exhaust) would be sufficient for a death sent-
ence.

lit flare into the gas tank? Plenty of fire, to be sure.

First of all IMHO anybody riding a Harley deserves a death sentence,
bunch of sidewalk commandos. As you can tell I have no love for that
overpriced, under engineered piece of shite.

But to do so on a motorcycle is actually tougher than it appears.
Remember the human body is much tougher than we give it credit for. I
don't remember the exact stats, but fatal accidents are less common
than we give bikes credit for. You could I suppose plow into a
freeway support, or a wall, or just jump off the road on a bridge.
But the human body has an amazing self preservation instinct. So it
maybe tougher than it looks. I know from past experience in
teaching. just teaching to dump a bike at speed is pretty tough. I
have done it many times and I still have to really force myself, even
though I know I am not going to get hurt.

So yes you CAN do it, but there are a lot of other methods that are
better. Especially since the possibility of just hurting yourself is
pretty high.

Well, definately not accelerating into a wall. Assuming you knew of a wall
at the end of a 50 mile straight, downhill with a following wind, the
bloody thing would just go through it.

I was in California several years ago on vacation. That highway
along the ocean looks like an especially bad place to drive after a few
canned consumables. Mass quantities not required.
