Such a waste!!!

Road to the cottage is a wonderful winding road. Been on the lake twenty five years. Every Saturday and Sunday you hear the sport bike going down the road. Sadly two or three a year do not get to go home to there families. This Sunday past wonderful sunny day,1230 road closed 11 sport bikes in a group speeding up road lead bike crosed the center line head on into a cruise bike heading the other way. Three dead. One in hospital. Very sad and these are not kids they all where in their 40s. Will they ever learn?

I live reasonably near an urban area. There seems to be a recent uptick in bike accidents and fatalities over this past year. Seems like every day there is a report of a fatality involving a motorcycle.

There is also a tribe of "Stunter" motorcyclists that tends to attract squibs on sportsbikes who seem to have a lot of enthusiasm that tends to not match their skills. Down here in SoCal you see packs of them sometimes numbering in the hundreds taking over the freeways and local parks. Just like generations before them.
