From the helicopter view it looked to be possibly 2 Goldwings, reporter said there were 3 bikes involved and all 2 up, I saw at least one trailer. Belongings were scattered all over the roadway. Looked to be 1 white and 1 Wine colored wing could not see the other. 2 SUV's involved One SUV had front end damage and the other was in the woods. one fatality from the Wings and they were awaiting word on the condition of the others. If a link is available soon I will post it. Not passing judgment yet, but I hate Atlanta drivers and will avoid traffic on 285 even if it means I'll be 2 hours early or 1 hour late. Just sayin' the Wings were probably not at fault, we'll see. Hope that all will be well.

I-285, aka "the perimeter" is one dangerous road.  :( That is why we usually head away from town to ride. Bummer.

Also, apparently there is some big biker thing going on down at AMS (Atlanta Motor Speedway). Not sure what it is...  :-\

That is where I had the first of my two blowouts on the 5th wheel two Sundays ago.  I don't think we will go back to the mountains that way next time.
