    Some dude on super rice burner passed me about 30 minutes ago doing around 90.
    Problem is he passed the DPS slightly in front of me. I mean it's
    2 am, so he didn't see him.
    So super rice puts the screws to it, and they both disappear.
    About 10 miles up the highway super rice is crashed, in my lane, fully twisted, morphed into what's left of his bike.
    No doubt in my mind , he is dead.

    Morale of this story is..............

    ... and I am glad I'm up early and it is one of my days off. So I do not have to deal with the road being shut down?

    Any dashcam footage? You gotta have a highlight reel for when you can't drive anymore.

    If a crotch rocket passed you doing only 90, I'd say the bike had a problem and he was nursing it home

    ... dirt bikes are better suited for outrunning/losing the blue lights than over-priced rice rockets.
