Found this on RidyNY. A little more clarification about the accident:

The wife of the deceased rider wrote this to the Time Union Biker Blog

Quote:
I am the widow of the man who was in this accident. My husband was killed one week ago today. I want everyone to know that the NYS police reported that he was travelling at unsafe speeds. This was an error on their part – he was travelling just below the speed limit. The police have sent out a retraction but no news media has carried it or published it. The reason for the accident is unknown, however the investigation suspects my beloved husband had a medical incident just prior to the accident. Witnesses say he was in complete control when he just drove straight off the road with no attempt to stop or even recover his path. His head clipped the mile marker as he went into the grass. There are no words to express the loss of my husband of 15 years and a father of four, the youngest is our 12 year old daughter. If you could help clear my husband’s name by spreading the word to whoever will listen that he was NOT speeding and the accident was determined NOT to be operator error, our family would be forever grateful. And if anyone knows how to get the media to cover this story I would appreciate it. I have lost the absolute love of my life, my soulmate, my forever partner.

Just thought you all might be interested.

You got the link to that blog??

I would like to clarify this post a LOT. Especially idiotic posts like illya’s stating that he was a “kid running from the cops”. These are just bullshit rumors and is very disrespectfull to this man, his wife and children.

I witnessed this accident first hand, pulled over, dialed 911 attempted to revive him, and gave that police statement that the wife is referring to.

1. He is 50. Not a kid.
2. He was not speeding in any way.
3. He died driving the bike before he crashed.
4. He was totally blue and dead when i got to him. This implies a stroke or massive heart attack while he was riding.
5. He was kept on life support because he was an organ donor, not because he was viable.

So what is the idea behind the police saying he is traveling at unsafe speed when they really don’t know??? If this is not used to imply riders are unsafe, I would love to learn about the real motive…
