There were 6 motorcycle deaths this week end and Monday.
4 here in Rhode Island and 2 in nearby Massachusetts.
The worst was in Glocester. You couldn't tell what kind of bike it was because it was completely destroyed.
It was definitely a sportbike. I could see the rear swingarm watching the local news.
The front of the bike was gone. No fairing or tank.
Failure to negotiate a curve on a local road.
It was estimated that he was traveling at around 120 to 125 mph. He hit an oncoming van when he went into the opposite lane so hard that his body bounced back 100 feet.
Dead on impact!
Speed and alcohol were a factor in 2 of the other accidents and failure to stop at an intersection was the cause of the other.
The crash in nearby Massachusetts was with 2 people on one bike. The bike hit a curb and both riders were ejected forward into a building.
The driver had no helmet the female passenger did.
