I'm sure helmets would have helped a little.
I'll bet they were drunk
Of course they're gonna leave that part out. Nothing else matters to them, other than the fact that they weren't wearing helmets. Chances are that if they were, it wouldn't have even hit the press...Originally posted by RandyO

Did you grit your teeth and try to look like Clint Fuckin' Eastwood?
Or did you lisp it all hangfisted like a fuckin' flower?
gear or no gear, it's more important not to do stupid shit like passing when there's an oncoming vehicle. Lets get real about the safety nazi shit here, don't get me wrong, I wear gear, and beleive in wearing gear, but wearing gear does not prevent accidents. and not wearing gear does not cause accidents.

like JC said, kind of hard to argue. even if you're in a car you might die still with head on...Originally posted by Stoneman

Considering he lost control while passing another bike...I wouldn't be surprised. That's like losing control while eating cereal...wtf.
