I agree with their feelings. I have the same ones.

I just don't like liars posting bogus ****.
The dudes driving history had nothing to do with his huge fukkup.
Not denying the fukkup.
Just tired of the bogus info being tossed around so easily.

Don't anybody like accuracy of information anymore?
Do we just "say what they want to hear"?
Apparently so. What a bunch of blind ****.

It seems like NOBODY is into "reality" any more.

The driver needs to do some hard time.

Horrible, horrible day...sorry for the families and folks involved.

Nope. That will not happen! By now, the truck has been gone over with a fine tooth comb to rule out any mechanical defects. Bad brakes would be readily apparent with a cursory glance from members of the "truck team" (members of the state police or DOT) who go over vehicles involved in serious crashes like this. Judging by the pix, it was a "10 wheeler," meaning it's probable gvw is something like 52,000 lbs (far more than the 20,000 mentioned before). As a trucker for many many years, I've seen **** like this way too many times! Because of the size of these things (mine has a gvw of 80,000 lbs) they are not easily or quickly stopped. To be running something like this in city traffic and not paying absolute undivided attention to what's going on all around you at all times is lunacy at best! This particular operator is guilty of vehicular homicide.....and should be prosecuted as such! No amount of time he does can bring back those he butchered; nor can it erase the lifelong pain and suffering he caused to a whole bunch of people. My suggestion would be to send him to Cave Creek (or some other suitable place) where he would be required to spend some period of time in the company of about 50 angry bikers....and maybe the families and friends of the people he killed and injured.

I add my deepest condolences to the family and friends of the bikers involved in this slaughter.

While I was at the candlelight vigil they mentioned that there will be something going on this Thursday at 6PM. The restaurant there is doing something also. They said meet at the crash site at 6PM this Thursday. If I can find out more I will post it immediatly. I will also get updated photos of the roadside memorial.

I would also like to send out my condolences to the family and friends of all involved I live just a bit southeast of there and it seems everytime I'm stopped at a store some one asks me about the accident and if I think motorcycles are dangerous? I always give the same reply "Not as dangerous as everyone else around me using their cellphones!"

Good part of the post.
