We are just guessing why it happened, that's all.

You can't pick and choose who gets sympathy and who doesn't, Chris. You've been just as heartless in the past... I personally feel sorry for these people and their families, regardless of fault. That's why I have refrained from crass comments about them.
But at the point of GSXR boy dealth reporting they probably said "a high rate of speed is suspected as cause". The katana girl, she obviously left her stupid family. Don't remember the FL bikers dieing.

I'm not picking and choosing. I'm identifing facts versus ignorance.

When will the federal government do something about these "Honda Accords or Civics..or whateverthey are" and ban them before anyone else gets hurt?
Why dont they think of the children?

Pretty much all I wanted to add was that whether or not your on tourers, cruisers, or sportbikes, the convoy close formation doesnt work out well for anyone. B17s, semis, motorcycles, platoon patrols, ect. Close formations cause some accidents and make others worse...

And about that Avenger recall...What does 'revised hardness' refer to??

It refers to the aging process and the effects on the male penis.
Boner at age 20 compared to at age 50 results in 2 differen meanings for the word "hard"

Chrysler always slips a cock reference into all of their service bulletins.

The folks in the Avenger were probably unaware of how crappy their car was.


The very last time I rode with my ex-husband I left him (on his Harley) and drove home alone because I was so FREAKING SICK of going 50 in a 55!!

101 my ex was hit head on by a car when he was in his 20's. Later I realized from riding with him (from the safety of my own bike, lol) he hugged that yellow line. I have no doubts that was a huge reason for the accident in the first place...

I know all Harley riders aren't the same, however all the ones I ever rode with were...

Honda Civic would need 4 miles of clear road to pass 20 bikes. I say sue the Japanese for making slow cars.

Not to mention, Harley riders often ride side by side, instead of staggered like they're supposed to. WTF is that shit about?
