That is correct, and as I said, put the blame where it belongs. And that is with whoever crossed the line. Regardless of attire.

 

True.
Gotta have leather ***** to play rugby...

I spent some time out of the country earlier this year and the only sports on TV were cricket and rugby. Never could understand the rules of cricket.
Became a rugby fan. Would rather watch it than the watered down NFL anymore.

 

proper outerwear is made for hot weather as well, yes it is tragic someone screwed up.
Which one, I am not sure, but if he was wearing the proper gear, who knows it might have helped. I am guilty of not wearing proper gear in hot weather too, I do 90% of the time. Guess I have been lucky,and a bit of a hypocrite.

 

Why is the motor officer not wearing full leathers ???

Is it prudent to wear full gear - yes. That really is a simple fact.
I don't, probably never will. I, like others, believe if it's your time, it's your time. I do however wear a lid most times, 100% of the time on the highway.

I'm guessing the Suzuki rider was inhibited by all his gear and crossed the double line.

 

Or the Harley rider was drunk, since we are pre judging.

 

Angeles Crest Highway, what else is new.
5 years ago a sportbike rider came around a 25 mph blind corner at approx 70 mph and rear ended a friends Chevy Suburban.
The rider was conscious and appeared to be lucid during the wait for the airlift. He died in the hospital later that evening from internal bleeding.
While my friend was found to be completely not at fault, he still deals with this today.

 

You do know the CHP wears bullet proof gear...
Don't you?

Kevlar or ATGATT with CE armor???
I'd say the cop wins with his Kevlar.

 

It's your choice to wear whatever you want. You're the one that has to 'Pay The Piper'.

 

Again so we all understand, regardless of who is at fault-Riding Angeles Crest Hwy with just a tee shirt and vans is just plain dumb. It is twisties with rock slides, dirt and gravel that gets dragged on by cars, trucks and wind. And there third party hazards that ride all kind of bikes, including Harley Davidsons.

Now to the blame there was no mention as to who did what nor did I make inference to imply who caused the accident.

What I said riding a mountainous area ill equiped is dumb.

 

That is a shame that your friend deals with that, but note and I have seen the accidents first hand, Harley Davidson riders contribute their share of problems on that Highway. In fact nothing worst than seening a bagger two up go off the road.

It is a shame because this is some awesome riding country and just take a few to screw it up for all of us.
