Very sad...
Indeed... it isn't that bikes aren't safe... it's that people in cars can't fucking drive.
That sucks. In fact, stories like this are the primary reason I don't have a motorcycle any more. I would love to have one, and I have intentionally stayed away from Cycle Center because I want one so bad. But with two children, riding a motorcycle is a chance I won't take these days.

That's not what the police and EMT's said. I'm not here to bash on the guy, because I didn't know him, but from all the official reports I've heard from those on scene he was going over 80mph on Devon Lane and the car couldn't even see him cresting the hill when they turned in he was going so fast.

Well, I don't know the details of this situation, however, I will say that the one accident I had on a motorcycle (which is why eleven years later I still can't put full pressure on my left foot) was a car's fault. The driver stopped long enough for me to get up and look at her, then took off.
