Two men, two women killed (on two bikes) when a Mustang crossed the median and hit them head on. Barely made the news here, and these are local area folks. The Rangers game and some death-row guys wife divorcing him are the headlines. Y'all ride safe out there. Nobody really cares if they kill us. http://www.wfaa.com/news/Four-dead-in-head-on-wreck-near-Canton-124951794.html |

Boxer rebellion, the Holy Child. They all pay their rent.
But none together can testify to the rhythm of a road well bent.
Saddles and zip codes, passports and gates, the Jones' keep.
In August the water is trickling, in April it's furious deep.

My condolences to the families, especially the children of the people killed.
Does anyone have more information? Profiles of the bikers, maybe? Follow ups to the story? Status of the Mustang driver? How did such a tragedy happen?

Hate to hear it.
Senseless of course.
But the riders still would have participated in the ride even knowing the risk involved.
I just wish the driving public would at least try not to hit us on our scooters.
Most of the time, on a cell phone, eating a burger, calling down the kids, etc.
But drunk and driving is the worst.
Of course when people get behind the wheel they don't plan to go out and kill someone.
Life is funny that way.
You never plan for the worst, but it happens.

Makes me glad I installed Silverstar Ultras and a modulator on the I/S today.

People are more passionately opposed to wearing fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than bikers.  |

How sad. Condolences to the families.
If the cage driver had hit a car full of kids, you would have heard a lot more about it.

That would not have helped in this. This was the type of accident where nothing protects. Sad. |
