I wonder if he saw some of his buddies or chicks then decided to "show-off". It sucks and I feel sorry for both families.

Interesting stats though. I did not know that..

I know how that feels. I almost got hit 4 times yesterday alone. Twice by the same car, someone eating while driving, and someone not paying attention. [>:]

When I started riding my father told me "the second you throw your leg over that bike you become the invisible man." I don't think my Dad has ever said a more true statement.

This is definitely another case of the "Invisible Man" on the bike. Manny's second article describes how the accident occurred. The car did a left turn in front of the motorcycle. She should have yield and the bike shouldn't have sped (50/50 fault?), but the bike gets all the blame in the write-up.

+1 on invisible man. The nest advice Ive ever received is "Ride like you're invisible." I once rode about 30 miles at night without a tail light (I didn't know it until I got home), but didn't have any problems, because I was already acting like they couldn't see me.
