You've got to understand, I live in a small town; there are less than 10 sportbikes I see around here. Mostly squids with huge chicken strips who like to rip it thru the neighborhood like 2 year olds...
Apparently, one of them decided to let someone ride their bike with the intent of selling it. The guy and his girlfriend (both in their late 20's and who have previous run-ins with the law) are doing about 65 in a 30 on a backroad near me when they run up on a LEO...tried to run - blew the turn less than 1000ft from where they crossed paths with the LEO, hit embankment. Tossed them both; the bike blew up (fire).
Both had helmets on but little else. Both were lifeflighted and are in critical condition. Something caught the man on the way off the bike, they found both his testicles on the scene; gonna lose a leg if he lives, broken neck, broken back, etc. Understand the Pillion isn't in much better shape. Neither may live.
Mixed feelings. Hate to see any rider down. But there is some Karma here...I just keep thinkin about the a) Hospital bills my tax dollars are going to be paying and b) If he lives, the disability he's probably gonna collect the rest of his life....
