Big Ten Fan. Koeppel out for first game after getting clobbered by a CAGER - Yamaha FZ6R Forums - International FZ6R / XJ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Back To Reality · 09-02-2010, 12:59 AM

I'm a Penn State fan, but I at least like to see Big 10 teams in a National Championship game. I groaned when I saw this Iowa Hawkeye get tagged by a truck.

OK...he was on a moped, but I figured that would just make all your creative replies all the more enjoyable!

Trivial note; I don't have a cam for my bike, but I routinely use a dashcam in my jeep. So far I've only caught a mildly amusing truck tire blowout, and a lot of generally poor drivesmanship. Nothing cool yet. I wish I had remembered to put up my cam last week when I encountered a huge benefit ride that was over 12 miles long.

Here is the video I originally found on Glenn Beck's new website, "The Blaze."

Ouch.

YouTube - Police video: Hawkeye Josh Koeppel hit by a truck

Even more reason ANYONE getting on any two wheel vehicle needs a helmet! That fool was lit up for sure.

It brings to mind this (

) that guy hit that truck like it was a wall and BOUNCED off...

But seriously though, glad he's alright.

Thanks for posting that. I am a hugh Iowa fan and they are not even talking about it on ESPN so i wouldn't have known it happened. But on the topic i am shocked he got up after that hit!!!

he looks ok from the video.... but, he should've worn some gears.

And his protective riding flip flops.

That is the exact reason I just installed those daytime running lamps on the front of my bike. We just blend into the back ground sometimes and don't get seen.

Good thing he was a young football player thats used to taking hits. Anyone else would still be laying there. I know I would be.

Yeah, I couldn't believe that he got right up.

I would venture to say that adrenaline had A LOT to do with his immediate rise from the ground. I bet he was hurting like no other a couple of hours later.
