Yes, but you also say that hypers aren't prone to headshake and 675s don't have too little trail so I'll consider the source on the riding at night statement.


Riding is dangerous, period.

-out here, where this accident occurred...its dangerous at night. variable road-surface conditions at best, woodland creatures, drunks, farm equipment, poor signage for areas under-construction, lack of law enforcement and response times for EMT's, add stone walls/tree lined roadways, random tree branches, gravel at nearly every corner/God knows how oily the intersection is and then throw in darkness.

-that describes at least 75% of New England.

-it's dangerous all the time.

-you need a new shtick.



OP, sorry for your buddy and his family, tragic circumstances. Hope the uncle recovers, both physically and emotionally.

I went on the torch ride. Some one told me the passenger fell asleep and the driver tried to catch her as she was slipping off the bike. Tragic at best. No passengers and no late night tired driving if possible for me!!!!!!!!!!! The torch ride was a long grueling hot ride that didn't end till after 8:30 and then the fireworks started. So this group was riding home late. My condolences.
