what a shame? Eff that. If he was drunk out of his mind, he went looking for trouble. Not shocking that he found it.

I feel worse for the poor woman he ran into. Now she's got leg injuries, and has to deal with the fact that she played a part in killing someone.

THAT'S a damn shame.

I'm tempted to do some compilations in the "fallen riders" threads, but it seems to me that 95% of these wrecks occur after dark. Wise up, people - if you're staying out late, leave the bike at home and take the car.

I stopped riding at night long before I stopped street riding all together. And I had added a fair bit of reflective white tape to my bike for added visibility. I still have a 4" roll if anyone wants some.

Now that you know the facts....How do you feel about the poor woman ? The one that is out on bond for vehicular manslaughter...Oh, by the way, news reports say her legs are fine ! Treated and released...like most drunks.

This is on I-90; a divided highway. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the rider was at fault.

Yep.....you went out on a limb. Maybe the drunk "woman" was going the wrong way....and possibly no headlights ? Maybe it wasn't the rider's fault.....? The jury will decide this for her.

My friend was the first responder to the crash. Guess they figured he was so drunk he went the wrong way on the highway, or just committed suicide. Guess the plate was from Summit County. It was a Blue HD, I'll post photos of the bike later, can't do it now from my phone.

Sniper....

I signed onto this forum to educate you...I am sure that by now you are aware that your friend," the first responder ", was off base in his assumption that the motorcyclist was going the wrong way. Although your pictures are brilliant, your information is ignorant in my opinion. One should never speak of that which they don't know to be true.

I knew the rider personally, and rode with him...he did NOT drink and ride, and he was not on a suicide mission. He was a man on his way home from work ( afternoon shift ). Yes, he had a summit county plate, because that was where he lived. Yes, it was a blue HD, and your pictures were wonderful....were those from you, or the "first responder" ? I would hope that the "first responder" would have been too busy doing his job, to take pictures to send to his friend (you).

No offense intended, but I think that you owe the community an apology for your mis-information, which you made the choice to pass along. I have noted there has been no response from you since the facts are in.....

Sniper, just so that your aware....he wasn't "so drunk", he was at work all night, and just trying to get home....by the way, he was killed, and left a 14 yr old son without a father.

Ride safe Sniper....and know of what you speak.
