This pic showed up in a western mass newspaper yesterday. I am the one leaning over the bike in the picture. This is the bike that Mike Negrette broke his neck on last year and is now paralyzed from the neck down. The police said that speeding was a factor. Speeding was NOT a factor. The cop (as usual) was talking out of his ass. Mike lost the back end (I believe because of linked brakes) in a corner with a slightly damp surface. Mike slid by me (I was in front of him) and hit a tree. As Mike was starting to stand up, the bike came past me and hit Mike in the back of the neck, crushing him against the tree. The cause of the accident was touring tires, linked brakes and rider error (in my opinion)
