They all looked real to me. And I'd say all of those guys are dead too.

i concur

And I don't even know what to make of the last one, but I say fake. Why a riding boot and a tennis shoe?

Unfortunately, I believe that these are all too real and are a graphic reinforcement of the fact that the laws of physics are immutable.

And that is why I'll never ride a motorcycle. I think they are awesome, but WAAAAAY to dangerous for me. I saw one guy get run over on the interstate coming to work one day. The Ford Expedition behind him wasn't paying attention and didn't stop when traffic stopped. Ran the guy and his bike over. No fault of the biker.

I also see complete dipshits on bikes weaving in and out of traffic going 80+ MPH. It just takes one wrong move and you end up dead with your wreck pictures posted on the Internet.

Things are a lot different from 40 years ago on the Highways when I rode. Sad sites.

In my 20 years of riding i have had drivers make u turns right in front of me, people swerving right into me, people stopping short, people driving and almost running me and then my GF over, yes its very scary, but its defenitely a thrill, need to be very alert and careful out their

First and third ones look fake. In both cases the either the bike wouldn't look that good, or the car/truck wouldn't look that bad.

I myself don't know; wasn't intending on it being a quiz type post.

But too many times we get pics like this in an email; just to find out later they were fake. These are "supposed" to be real (well... all except the last one that's linked-to; couldn't fiind any info either way on that one).

My brother-in-law was riding a few years ago, and stopped at a red light. He glanced in his mirror and noticed the truck behind him wasn't stopping. Somehow jumped over the handle bars, and only got minor injuries from the truck hitting him in the back. CRAZY.

The third one is definitely fake, it would still be on fire or smoking with emergency vehicles and signs of fire extinguishing efforts.
