I feel bad the squid died and his gf probly is going to as well but if you look at some of the comments this is the kinda thing that makes cagers hate us and think ALL of us as riders ride like squids.

hate to say it but it sounds like it was dudes fault.

It's too late to lecture him now. This sucks. I hate to hear of any rider getting seriously injured much less fatally wounded. Rest in peace.

This just to show that older doesn't equate to being wiser.

I realize that driver of vehicles dont see motorcycles and sometimes they are the blame in most accidents, but we riders should take the necessary precuations to protect ourselves. Its sad when a fellow rider is killed in a accident. May he rest in peace.

The riders who believe that EVERY single bike vs. car accident is the "cage's" fault are rediculous.

When you ride "excessively" with a passenger without a helmet and you hit a car from behind, it's pretty much your fault.

Call a spade a spade. One of ours rode like a knob and offed himself. Sucks for the family he left behind and the passeneger and her family.

i realise this is my deep seated misanthropy talking here but a pretty strong percentage of the human race IS ignorant.
