Dude in my class in navy had a 1987 Yamaha crotch rocket 1000, not sure which it was and anyway he rigged his head lights so he could turn them off. Law was chasing him down Seminole BLVD in Orlando and he ran a light and hit a little yugo type box car in the passenger door killing both the driver and passenger, teen sisters, and of course my classmate. The bike went completely though both car doors as well as most of his body. His head, still in helmet was embedded in the roof. Sold mine right after.

I believe they were FZ'S back then.

I looked online for an old archived article from Orlando Sentinel and couldn't find it. There has to be a copy of that story somewhere. Might have been 1986? The picture is awful.
