Damn, we lost a rider and one lost a leg

[R J]

2 different bike, car/truck accidents.

2 bikes, semi and a car on I-80 Southbound spelled disaster for 1 rider, laid his bike down and a semi ran over him.  His buddy on his bike got a bunch of road rash.

Then 1/2 way across town a biker lost a leg.    Can't find any details on that one yet.

Sheet, maybe I better park mine till winter......

Ride safe folks and ride like they are out to kill ya, cause they are....

Don't know how long this will be here.

Sad news RJ. I know there was one killed in Charlotte, NC yesterday. Rear ended by a car. And I heard at church yesterday that one crashed and died within 25 miles of our house. The last one is unconfirmed and sounded like rider inexperience. Lost it in a curve and hit the guard rail.

Reckon where people get the idea that  purposely crashing a bike to avoid a crash makes any sense?

Watching these motorcycle movies where they lay them down to keep from hitting something.

They have never gone to MSF class, so they don't know any better........
