A local bar hosted an event after a fund raising ride. 100+ bikes in a bar parking lot, mostly HD. Some guys were doing burnouts as they left the parking lot. One guy on an Ultra pops the clutch with his lady on the back. She almost hit her head on the road as the bike went perpendicular. He came down crooked and hit a parked car. They both flew over the bars, taring the bat wing off. She never got up. Ambulance took her away, cops took him away.
GOOD PIC. HIGHROLLER! I MUST ADMIT I DID IT ONCE - GOT MEZMERIZED ON A TAIL LIGHT AND . . . WHOOPS &$@! DUMBAXX. BUT I DID GET A T-SHIRT OF OUT THE DEAL (SAYS 'HIGHROLLER'). MAN DID I CATCH IT AND I AM NO NEWBE TO SCOOTERS.
One of them wiped out in a corner and died a little over a week ago on Catalina hwy here in Tucson. The road goes from 2,000 feet eleveation to over 8,000 feet in 27 miles. It's my daily, morning ride and is the nicest ride in southern Arizona.
I called the cops to tell them two sport bikes were doing wheelies at 120mph on the 166 and just wiped out.
They asked me how I knew how fast they were going when the wrecked.
I said when I passed them on the V-rod I kicked the lead one over and the second one hit him.
