magley64 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Rip. Didn't value their lives enough to wear helmets. at 60...does it matter? how much life do you have left anyway? IF you don't want to wear a helmet, that is the risk you take...I hope they enjoyed their ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 at 60...does it matter? how much life do you have left anyway? Yeah ok. I'm sure they set off that day thinking exactly that. I plan on havin some fun at 60. Besides, a Harley isn't the best way to do yourself in. I mean, it's in the top 10 but only just. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagr Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 SO I'm guessing she turned left into the MCs path. Usually how these things happen. Either way RIP Riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balaormiga Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 RIPSad... really sad. Too many dying on bikes this year. Too many riders that just don't get it.It is a dangerous sport. Like all sports you need the proper equipment. That's not to say a helmet would have helped them. But the lack of one shows a general disregard for safety.They may have been someone's parents...

MadMax33 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Before I get on my bike I realize that I might die that day. Then the bike moves forward and I start to grin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnR Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) I was just there last night for the kids soccer practice. There is a significant dip in the road right before the turn in to the soccer fields. "If" you stop, look and turn, you wouldn't have any trouble seeing anyone coming. But, if you are in a rush and cut across the left lane to pull in , I can see how this kind of accident could happen.Certainly not an excuse for the driver, just more info on the accident.
