This is what I always want to know. I know people with bikes and this shite always worries me.

The bike had to be moving after seeing the size of the impact on the car.
Looks like the car may have pulled out in front since it was hit broadside in the rear door area.

Someone tragically loses their life and the OT makes jokes about it

Very sad

Very unfortunate. Thoughts and prayers w the family. Saw it after they put the tarp down. Anybody who drives a motorcycle in BR is braver/dumber than me. Gave that up years ago after almost running into the LSU lakes to avoid a car turning in front of me.

I love riding my friends motorcycle on an inside road, but I'm scared shite less taking it on a major highway.

Poor guy, I nearly witnessed a highway accident last week, motorcycle was in the blind spot

It's not going to change until they get stricter about punishing drivers who kill motorcyclists and bicyclists. Baton Rouge has an inordinate amount of crazy and/or aggressive drivers.

The human brain isn't conditioned to automatically recognize motorcycles, bikes, etc. on a roadway unless it's off autopilot, which few drivers' brains are.

I can't fathom how anyone would ride a motorcycle in this town, especially as a commuter vehicle. With the amount of stupid/aggressive/distracted drivers, it's simply not worth the risk.
All you terrible drivers out there can frick right off. Yeah I'm pissed.

Arguably, driving a motorcycle in BR is just as stupid as walking around 70805 at midnight. What do you expect ?

I'd argue it's almost as stupid as choosing to live in Baton Rouge.
