I guess I don't remember a worse start to the bike season, four deaths in four weeks. Four funerals. The first bike night, drunk hardley rider hits a fire hydrant while running from the cops, dies at the scene. Next, sport bike rider rear ends car at a light, R1 Yamaha, rider dies in the chopper. Bike was only hours old. Then, 22 year old cruiser rider looses it in a corner, dies at scene. Then it hits home, one of the local sport bike contingent gets run over by a Honda Accord last Sunday afternoon. WTF? Here is the kicker...not one of the riders was wearing a helmet, all died from massive head trama. I pulled along side of an ambulance the other day, the guys just nodded their heads at me, they looked sad. Sometimes I wonder what it takes to get people to wear their gear? Here is a weird one, the guy that got hit by the Honda had taken the rear brake off of his zx12, something to do with his new extended swing arm set up. The guys that saw the accident said the bike did a stoppie, flipped and threw him right against the car. Dumb #### didn't even have a shirt on....hope this is it, everyone please gear up and be careful!!!!
