Default Rider Fatally Rear Ended In FL

Posting this as a reminder for everyone to keep an eye on their rear view mirrors when stopped at red lights and intersections.

Sad and pathetic that the idiot who hit this guy fled the scene. Apparently this is our next generation.

Karma will catch up to the driver of the Honda. Someone will notice the damage and turn his *** in, maybe his own family or friends. RIP, William Wren.

Good reason to also ride offset in the lane, stay out of the middle.
When stopped, position your bike for lane splitting, in case you need to save your life.

With the increase of people coming across our southern border, brings unlicensed, inexperienced and uninsured drivers. When they hit you, they aren't hanging around. No identification, stolen plates and you paying for it all. Just another perk for you kind illegal immigrant supporters.

WTF are u talking about?
There was nothing in the article to lead you to your irrational leap from sanity.

In Sarasota it is much more likely to be a geriatric driver.
1/3 of Sarasota population is over 65 years old.
Sarasota is both substantially whiter and richer than the rest of Florida as a whole.


My thoughts are with the family. I just lost my father-in-law and know what they are going through.
