im sure a few of you were involved in the traffic jam last week as a result of a motorcycle accident on th General Sullivan Bridge in Portsmouth. I dont know all the ACTUAL details of the accident or whos fault it was so if someone does than please post up. but i heard from people at work today that he didnt survive his injuries...very sad.

I live in Portsmouth. I haven't heard anything about that...but I do know some kid was killed last week on 1a in Hampton not too far from here.

I didn't hear about that one and I'm not too far down the road. I wonder what happened. There is no room to go fast around there.

from what i gather (im not sure how acurate this is) a guy on a bike (not sure what kind) was following a little too close to the car in front and then the car had to stop short, i guess then the biker got on the brakes hard and tried to swerve around to avoid rearending the car in the *breakdown* lane but the car did the same and pinned him against gaurdrail
i heard he had some head trauma so i am assuming no helmet, but again this is all hearsay on what happened. but im sure it was a bike related accident

I got caught in the traffic on my way to work. But strangely enough, I haven't heard a thing in the news or in the paper. Our local paper usually has everything in it

At any rate, hoping the rider is ok.

following it too close, a cage will outbrake a bike with all 4 wheels locked up or with abs on...just more tire patch area even thought the much more weight....
