No, it's not against the law, but it's pretty hard on common decency. It is against the law for police to release crime scene photos. Flip it around, someone could have died in that accident. 1500lbs of motorcycle sliding around can do some damage. So, it's you, you are hurt, maybe dead (broken ribs can do a lot of internal damage). And your pictures end up on the internet because some unscrupulous photog thinks they entertaining. And your kids, or your widow, or your parents see it. Welcome to the internet.

Well jeez, people keep saying the same wrong thing 205 times, LOL!
I can't see a centerline, he must be over it. They can't think of any other explanation? That and the fact that the guy on the red bike is the one who posted the pics of his crash on that other forum.

You are speaking of which you know nothing. The photographers do more to help and keep the road safe than anyone else. You do know the name of this thread??? The photos from a crash are free to the crasher, and he chose to post them himself. Climb down off of your high horse and take a breather.

If you go to the Snake thread, which has more videos of bikes crashing, you will see that the photogs rush to the fallen rider to see if they are ok. I'm willing to bet the same thing happened here.

![]() A friend from a couple of weeks ago. First thing we did AFTER checking on him was to see if he wanted pics taken. Wouldnt have been much different if we had been in place to film him prior to the crash. Maybe its our group of riders, but the agreement is to follow this scenario: "you alive? yes? ok, we are going to get pics"

You do realize that this is the Killboy Failure Dragon Fest thread wherein our inmates discuss, ridicule and chuckle over mishaps and fails captured by the Killboy crew at The Dragon? And if the Bouncing Gremper in these photos didn't want them public, he and his buddy wouldn't have made them public?
If you don't like it, don't read it.. Bye-bye

Not to mention that the pics serve as a reminder to be extra cautious out there. The photogs have documented big trucks causing danger and helped push to keep them off of Deal's Gap. They often escort the trucks that do pass as do other riders.
And they (or at least Killboy) organize clean ups of the road as well as keep a broom handy to sweep gravel kicked up by cars and bikes off of the road. Those evil photogs.

Fine, I'm wrong, dead wrong, lets all pop fucking popcorn and take coolers of beer and folding chairs to the cemetery.
