Default Another Laconia Fatality
Saw a fatal motorcycle wreck in Nashua NH on my way home, I was maybe 30 seconds to a minute behind it, about 8 cars were already pulled over and drivers running to help so I had to keep moving albeit barely rolling, I past this young mans body maybe 6-10 feet away from my drivers window, severe injuries were apparant. Godspeed to the fallen rider, PLEASE be careful.

According to the Manchester Union Leader website, there were three fatal motorcycle crashes in NH this afternoon. It really makes you stop and think.

Just left. Camped next door to the spoke. There were sirens all week. The great weather brought out more bikes than I can remember in the last 10 years. Increased numbers, more people , more accidents. Sad ending to a great week.

What's to stop and think about? Whenever you get 1000's of bikes together and add a little alcohol to the mix... somebody's gonna die. Happens every year at all the major biker rallies.
