I saw this earlier when checking the channel 4 news item on the Iron Pig event. Read the comments left on the article. http://www2.nbc4i.com/cmh/news/local/article/man_dies_as_a_result_of_motorcycle_crash/20564/

MSN picked it up... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32347818/ns/local_news-columbus_oh/

two and a half pounds? you could handcuff someone to a paint shaker and get the same thing in 20 seconds...

It was today, dang it, they started registering at 11am...

@ step 7 edit: and I read faster than the rest of you....

Ohio BMV info "lost plate": https://www.oplates.com/faq/BrowseFAQ.asp?SiteID={850A7CAF-5FBE-11D5-A9F6-00105CAB1F06}&LanguageID={850A7CB0-5FBE-11D5-A9F6-00105CAB1F06}&FAQID={F81084AA-9A20-4D90-ADBF-4988B859B038} Hopefully it can be replaced immediately at the registrar.

oh crap we missed the 3rd annual Lancaster Ride for the Red. I intended to remember to post it in time, I did not. Too late now. Mostly cruisers, but a fun escorted parade ride through the Hocking Hills area. Better luck on the 4th annual... http://fairfieldcountyohio.redcross.org/

Yes. One of the problems is that it is very difficult to decide what sort of offense it is, and various jurisdictions have different interpretations. In some places, it might be nothing. In Japan, you would be in jail for a very very long time. Even for an injury, not just a death.

I'd like to point out that as much as the world is attached to motor vehicles, those motor vehicles are deadly weapons. Which would you rather be hit by, a 9mm or a Mack truck? Choose wisely...

Ok, yeah, the texting is bad. The phones aren't far behind. Any Friday downtown after work can show the extreme. 90+% of everyone is on a phone or texting, on local streets, up the ramp, and on the freeway. If texting is 23 times more likely to cause an accident, then the inverse, 95.65% of accidents might eventually be from texting distractions. If everyone was texting all the time, that is what we would have to look forward to. I'm sorry, but most people can't walk, talk, and chew gum at the same time. And they shouldn't be trying... my opinion: it should become standard practice to search and seize all communication devices at a serious accident. All devices should then be checked to see if they were in use at the time of the accident. Penalties should not be strictly secondary offenses. Penalties should be equal to the damage done. In other words, killing some one by neglect, should be considered murder. edit: Yes, I've actually stood on the side of the road and counted the drivers on phones or texting, as they pass by.... edit2: don't ever walk across a street, in a crosswalk, in front of a car that the driver is on the phone... really risky. Late on hitting the brakes is real common.

As gross as that sounds, you only have to do about one a year in a large community. And suddenly everyone starts behaving...

ok, we forgot to mention the run-away speed going downhill with a passenger. yeah, think like a truck, you're hauling a load.

Pleased to meet you too. Feel free to join up whenever us Ohio Rider types meet up. Yes, it's more comfortable when some of the OR ladies show up. A little bit of scrappy rain chased me all the way home. No big deal.

A little late? lol, you could have just waited a bit and made it there the following day, ha... there was less than 10 of us. And not a lot of "others". Apparently the rain did appear to be a threat.

A couple of times this week, I noticed cruisers with pipes that made ears hurt. That would be too loud. It will cause permanent damage to hearing. Made worse, of course, by annoying revving while sitting still and not moving in a parking lot full of people. I think that is called assault.... wut wut wut I can't hear you...

up the street is better than up a tree... just sayin'

dude, I thought that was everyone going home at sundown, 'cause they are still on their MC temps...

If you noticed more patrols on the Columbus freeways lately, here's the deal: Ohio State Highway Patrol and Columbus Police are targeting drunk drivers for a while. http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2009/08/07/blitz.ART_ART_08-07-09_B3_8AEN0LQ.html

The record companies know it's worthless, except for making money. Somebody somewhere buys it. (teenagers) It was the same with disco, but eventually people stopped buying the music, and the record companies dropped it like a hot potato.

LOL

The paramedics say that, because the object in a wound often blocks or prevents rapid bleeding. Leaving an object in a wound will slow the bleeding. It is standard practice. To the extent that an object in a deep wound may be cut off and transported with the patient. If the object is removed, measures must be taken quickly to prevent possible excessive bleeding, or to stabilize blood mass by administering plasma or whole blood. It is also possible to cause greater damage when removing an object from a wound. The key is to stabilize the patient. Adequate respiration and pulse, conscious if possible, and no threat of further injuries occurring. If that was not the case, then the motorcycle should have been moved. imao
