Another Bike Week fatality...
ST. PETERSBURG - Blues musician and well-known biker John "Johnny Widebars" Taylor and his wife, Laura Ann Taylor, were killed in a motorcycle accident Sunday morning (March 4, 2007) as they drove home from Bike Week.
The deaths came amid a horrific 12 hours on Florida's roads that took 10 lives.
The Taylors had left the annual motorcycle epicenter in Daytona Beach and were headed west on Interstate 4 in Seminole County.
At 11:35 a.m. their motorcycle began to wobble from a "rear tire separation," the Florida Highway Patrol said.
The bike, driven by John Taylor, 46, was in the inside lane but veered into the median and flipped, an FHP report said. John Taylor died at the scene.
Laura Taylor, 39, was taken to Central Florida Regional Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
The couple were married in July at Treasure Island.
John Taylor was a singer and guitar player in his band, Johnny Widebars and the Shovelheads. The group's Web site, www.johnnywidebars.com, says the five-person group plays Chicago-style blues with a taste of New Orleans.

Wow....
We knewJohnny and Laura as a brother and a sister. Their band played often in Palmettoat Peggy's Corral.
Both were very experienced riders.
It's yet another sad day in FLA.
