And in about 2/3 of those accident, the driver of the other vehicle violated the bikers right-of-way. Bikers share the road with too many incompetent drivers and always lose if there is a collision. This is the exact reason why I don’t own a bike. ---

It sucks when bikers die. Unless an article like this was on my street, or I had to watch it happen, it does not make me feel anything. > LONG BEACH - A motorcyclist was killed today in an accident on a freeway transition road in Long Beach, authorities said. > > The crash was reported about 7:30 a.m. at the transition from the eastbound Artesia (91) Freeway to the southbound Long Beach (710) Freeway, said California Highway Patrol Officer Jennifer Connelly. The victim died at the scene. > > According to the preliminary report, the victim was thrown from his motorcycle and ended up on a street below the transition road. As for FRY… he used to be bikerFRY and to be fair, his oxygen is not that high of purity 😛 ---
