Wow...

Are there usually this many deaths during bike week, or is this just a freaky year?

**01YZF6** · 06-16-06, 08:50 PM

it is just a more focused look into the deaths because of bike week...

that sucks though.....

**xvrider** · 06-16-06, 09:32 PM

I think that actually makes 8 if you count the tree falling one...

But no matter how many...It still sucks..

That really sucks! RIP!

Up to 10 now I believe (another last night). Unusually high, even for Rally & Race Week...

Where was the one last night? I was coming home from work around 5:00pm, and I came upon an accident scene on Rt.125 about Brentwood/Kingston line. All I saw was a full dress Harley pretty beat up, on it's side. I have no idea of any injuries. I hope nobody perished. It was at an intersection, so I could make a rough guess at it being an unfortunate but typical, somebody wasn't looking well enough, kind of accident. At this point, I have no knowledge of who wasn't looking.

I actually knew the man that died. He was an incredibly nice guy, and will be sorely missed. From what I heard he scraped the foot board on the ground mid-turn. He rode sport bikes most of his life, and was riding his first Harely (from what I've been told). I think he was just used to the ground clearance of a sport bike. So, so sad...

RIP Armand...

Message is clear to me: stay the f*ck away from bike week.

**snowborder** · 06-19-06, 11:46 AM

Noteworth - almost all of the fatalities was due to M/C rider fault crossing the yellow line and hitting on coming traffic head on.

The exception was the tree falling on the womens head... that one is still a mystery to me.

there are so many riders that only ride this one week that it's not funny. I bet 75% of the bike week riders are inexperienced and ride less than 1k/yr and have ridden less than 2500 miles total lifetime

10 associated with motorcycle weekend and then the wife on kangamangus, so 11 deaths in the last couple weeks.

Rest In Peace to the guy and his new harley. Sorry to hear you knew him too schleppy.

KEEP THOSE HELMETS ON!!!!

God bless.
