Driver in "serious condition". .That's 2 (maybe 3) area fatalities and a bad one in 10 or so days.
You gotta be nuts to ride a bike these days.

Update: 2 more area fatalities in the last few days.

I was heading into work around 6:40... fog was so bad in BR I could barely see 20 feet. Not the best time to be out on a bike.

There was a death in the dfw area where the motorcyclist (in a group) hit the back of a car, and lost control.
They are horrible in packs

There was nothing like the roar of the engine and the wind through my hair on the back of my Honda Rebel 250. I felt like I was McQueen.

I live right down the street from the crash and drove past the accident scene this morning. I saw him on the ground as the EMS were working on him. Couldn’t see much because of the fog but I’m surprised he’s alive honestly. He didn’t look to be moving at all as I drove past him.

It’s that time of year. Cooler months, more seasonal bikes on the road, newer younger less experienced drivers in cages. Happens year after year.

If you love motorcycles buy a dirt bike and ride at a track on in the woods. Just as much fun and, although dangerous, less likely to die.

Dude ain't gonna be mud checking anyone any time soon.

Riding motorcycles was a lot safer before smartphones were invented.

I can’t understand for the life of me why some people don’t at least wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle. I know someone that will wear diapers for the rest of his life because he chose not to wear a helmet.

Amazing in depth repoeting by that clownshow

For those of you that seen the accident....was it a cruiser, or crotch rocket?

It’s all about the freedom and choice. I’ve rode without helmets before. And I’ll. Used to ride with only skid lids. But I had never been in an accident at the time. Since I’ve gone down a few times, I only wear my full face. But I feel it should be freedom of choice. If you don’t want to wear it don’t. But don’t hate when you become a vegetable.

Glad someone finally said it.

Ideally, yes. But only if zero public dollars went toward the medical bills of people that chose not to wear them.
If your private insurance will cover you, you can ride in just your boxers for call I care.

I used to ride all the time. You mostly just had to worry about old ladies not seeing you. Now you have to worry about everyone not seeing you...

Correct. Which is why most states that have laws No helmet laws, in order to ride without one, you have to have XXX.XXX amount of dollars worth of insurance. For that reason. And I agree with that.
Play stupid games, when stupid prizes. But. Everyone should have the freedom of choice to be stupid or not. Lol. As long as I don’t have to pay for it.

It was amazing seeing just how many people have their eyes in their lap while driving. You don't think of it too much in a car, but when I was on my bike, well it was a bit much
Sold my bike when my wife got pregnant 3 years ago. Eventually I'll get another one, but for now it's just not worth the risk.

Right! Never noticed how many people stay on their phones, Including the one’s enforcing the law’s. I have 3 of my own, my girlfriend has one, and we have one on the way, I still ride almost daily. For 4 years it was my only vehicle. But i have a truck now so it’s not as often. But I’ll never stop riding until I am physically unable too. My kids understand. And I understand the risk everytime I get on it. You can die choking on your corn smacks in the morning. When it’s your time, it’s your time.
