Has anyone heard about a fatal motorcycle accident in schenectady last night? I was listening to the radio and someone called in to dedicate a song to their son (I believe) who was killed yesterday in a motorcycle accident in Schenectady. She said he was 26…

Didn’t hear about it no
But I know when I was at the DMV yesterday there were about 5 people getting their bike permits.
With the way gas price is going and the fact that people still buy bikes beyond their skill level to learn on I suspect there will be a lot more of these stories in the future.

Yeah all I heard was someone on a bike went head on with another vehicle. A couple of the girls at my job here know him and had seen him recently, they were pretty upset about it. The gazette had an article on it, I’d link it but I’m on my phone at work.

Seems like it was someone not paying attention when crossing an intersection.

Yes and that’s a problem. But on bikes the danger is ever present regardless of what you do as seems as is the case here without knowing exact details such as speeding/alcohol/hooliganism etc.

That sucks…
Intersection is where most accident happens, I’ve made it a religion to make sure I visually check traffic and not to be the first vehicle crossing the intersection on a green light.

I was out last night and it was good weather, Kenny (offroadzj) actually texted me before posting this because he knew I was out and he knows I live in Schenectady so he wanted to make sure it wasn’t me!
