#142 Speed + Two Wheels + Dirt = Death

Motorcyclist speeding up to 130 mph killed in Solano County while he tried to pass cars by going on the median divide. There was dirt there and he lost control, flew off his bike and hit his head hard enough to knock it off (which is almost certainly what killed him).

I don't know if he was a new biker or just a bad biker but Yamaha R-1's are, effectively, racing motorcycles. They are insanely fast and pretty incredibly dangerous is misused, as this unidentified rider found out.

I would wager a few bucks that he wasn't older than 25.

Rule #142 is Speed + Two Wheels + Dirt = Death
