    Just wonderinng how far the motorcycle went. If the wheels are still turning, the bike will remain upright.

    "Police later said that speed may have contributed to the accident"

    Ya think ?
    That... and a serious lack of ability of how to operate that scoot.

    and yet, every year, more and more GUYS buy those crotch rockets.

    i'd be at the dealership, picking out either a cruiser or a bagger, and some young GUY would be sitting on one of those high powered rockets.

    we all see them, all the time, racing on any sort of road.

    can't say i feel sorry for any of them, when they buy something beyond thier capabilities.

    from the looks there were two lanes. so wasn't really "I'm passing that rig." more like idiot was going too fast for the curve and slide to the right lane and bam.

    Back in 2001 i found myself in Daytona during bike week.Manuvering on 95 with bikes everywhere is a nerveracking experience in its Self.A guy on a Road king zig sagging in and outta traffic whilst sipping a bottle of Jack nearly clips my left fender.I tap the horn to get his fool attention and he curses and gives me the finger cutting between cars to only rear end a Honda Ridgeland pickup.Bad ending as they shut everything down to fly him out.
