We had a bang-up weekend for motorcycle related deaths around me too. Someone was killed on the road I take to work when a mini-van made an unscheduled left into a gas station and cut off a motorcycle. A pedestrian failed to notice the large, loud machine bearing down on him and was killed by a motorcycle (look out for pedestrians, they’re at least as dumb as cagers). And one kid riding near my old apartment was hospitalized after he fell off his bike and into traffic.
There were sport bikes zipping up and down the main road by my house all weekend, and I don’t think I saw too many of the riders wearing anything more than a helmet. If that continues all summer, I expect we’ll see a death or two out there. They’re apparently not aware of the cop-shop just up the road from my house, or the river which provides a steady flow of wildlife up and over the road.
