I guess he had just picked up his marriage license, some old ass piece of shit who probably shouldn’t be driving to begin with pulled out in front of him. Died of head trauma, leaving his wife with their unborn child at 27 yrs old.

Well, that sucks.

“…was thrown from his motorcycle and his helmet became dislodged”

Unless the helmet was damaged when the car hit him, it is close to impossible **IF** the helmet is properly sized and the chin strap is properly tightened.

Why does it always have to be an old fuckin moron taking a life of someone who just started his life and has taken him away from his family. You know all these DMV laws that change are always changing to make the DMV money, I think this failure to yield bullshit should stop and change this shit to manslaughter it would make people pay more attention because now there asses would suffer.

I have no intention to scold anyone that’s dead. As a rider, I hate to see people killed as much as any rider does.

It is very much possible his helmet got damaged during the accident and just wanted to point out the improper use of safety equipment might give people a false sense of security.

Fucking bullshit. A co-worker of mine was involved in a similar accident a month back where an old lady pulled out in front of him and he was thrown off the bike. He is VERY lucky to be alive, and the lady did not even receive a ticket from the police.

of course not but im sure if he was in the wrong he would have gotten fucked by the long dick of the law…

seen an accident outside of work where this old lady went across 3 lanes to make her exit and took out a plow truck in the process…her response “He hit me, my neck hurts.”…and it was her fault:retardclap…  
nice cover:thumbup **NOT!!**
