Bike couldn't stop and rode/skidded into rear of Saab. Whoa, I had always thought (maybe wrong) that bikes stop a lot quicker than cars. >Normally the rider might have had a chance, but got impaled on bits of bike >(ie:handle bars, etc) sticking out of rear of Saab (rather than smooth rear of >unadorned Saab) That is really awful, now I feel bad I asked. ~J~
