Sorry, no pity for him.
if the story is true, he got what he deserved.
drinking - based on what biker Dad said in the story, and driving 120+ = dumb A$$.
natural selection took over.

Outta repect for the guy's family, enough of the "he's stupid" comments.

Get real --we've all done stupid s**t and lived to tell about it...

I'm from Tulsa andknow some folks that knew this guy.

Bashing the deceased is morbid.

Motorcycle Focus: 2 deaths highlight safety issues [/align]

From the flames of tragedy come embers of hope for the family of Brandon White.

Hope that through a tragic series of events that took the lives of two friends this month, a dialogue will be opened on the issue of highway safety for young people.

Hope that another family will be kept from having to bear the burden of losing a loved one in a motorcycle accident.

Brandon White, 25, was killed April 17 in the 8500 block of southbound U.S. 169 when his motorcycle struck the back of a tractor-trailer rig.

Five days later, in the early morning hours of April 22, 21-year-old Devin Seigal -- White's friend who had a day earlier attended his funeral -- died when his motorcycle struck the back of a pickup in the 7000 block of southbound U.S. 169.

If not stupid then what is it ? I am a father of 4 and if it were one of my children I would say they did something stupid and it cost them their life.

This kind of thing cost all of us our rights and a lot of money in Ins premiums. now if the kid had been legal and gotten into a wreck and passed, Nothing like this would have ever been said....

I so agree with all the other posters... I would like to mention that the actions and behaviors, unintentionally riders like that are what set people out to change the world... We know the chances. We do not ride race bikes on the street and then ride in full race gear. rip... how sad.
