The folks in the Avenger were probably unaware of how crappy their car was.


The very last time I rode with my ex-husband I left him (on his Harley) and drove home alone because I was so FREAKING SICK of going 50 in a 55!!

101 my ex was hit head on by a car when he was in his 20's. Later I realized from riding with him (from the safety of my own bike, lol) he hugged that yellow line. I have no doubts that was a huge reason for the accident in the first place...

I know all Harley riders aren't the same, however all the ones I ever rode with were...

Honda Civic would need 4 miles of clear road to pass 20 bikes. I say sue the Japanese for making slow cars.

Good grief. No matter what, we always have to watch out for idiots. I'd like to know what the whole story is, though. Were the bikers playing games with the Honda, causing him to just decide to pass, or was the Honda just flying down the road? Did the bikers speed up when the Honda tried to pass?

Seems odd to me. Seems like the riders at the back of the pack would have been the ones to get hit.

not really, the front pack, probably tried to not let the guy pass and sped up when he overtook the back of the pack. Pretty common occurence around these parts.

The dude should of stopped. He probably would of gotten off with a ticket instead of fleeing the scene.

If the dude would have stopped he would have been deported.

1. Harley riders doing 40mph and not pulling off the road to let traffic pass.
2. Inexperienced drivers who over correct a situation.

How about we keep in mind that 4 riders lost their lives probably not due to anything they did or didn't do. Keep your eye on the tragedy at hand instead of puking insults to a tragic tragic accident. These people were out on a joyfull riding even and now there are 4 dead riders and 1 dead inocent in the passenger seat of a car. 5 people lost their lives assholes. How would you feel if that was your family. This stupid talk about Harley riders this or that. I guess I'm glad that I know how you would all talk about me if that was me riding.

f'in stupid!
