A reminder to stay alert /2 troopers collide

Best guess so far. Two off duty NYS troopers going along on highway at speed. 1st one rapidly decllerates to check on a deer auto collision. 2nd bike rear ends 1st. sending himself airborne over the top of both landing on his noggen. He's in induced coma for a few days, then they'll see if any brain damage. I think his name is Mike. Pray for him and Steve.

Hope he turns out OK. Its a salient reminder that even the "pro's" get it wrong sometimes. Gotta pay attention at ALL TIMES when riding

Bad things can happen in a split second. Don't ask me how I know. Prayers for the troopers.

Damn, that sucks. Hope everything turns out well for them. Definitely have to keep your head on a swivel at all times.

Probably safe to assume they are skilled riders, but not a sure thing.

When riding with my son, I have told him a thousand times....

RIDE YOUR OWN RIDE. DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME. DON'T FIX YOUR EYES ON ME.
