Damn, I'm right near there. Prayers.

He must have been either leaving or heading to the Salt Lake HD dealership, itis only two blocks from there. I have seen several close calls in that intersection, people trying to beat the stop light. Hopefully that wasn't the case.

What's sad is...a woman in Dallas was just convicted of man-slaughter for yelling "rape", causing her husband to shoot and kill her lover (and the affair wasn't even a secret).

The driver of the 4 wheeled vehicle in this scenario probably won't even get a slap on the wrist.

If the lady had t-boned another 4 wheeler and someone died she'd face charges. Why not for KILLING a motorcyclist?

That's just wrong.

I always hate to see a brother go down but if he hit the rear of the car, then unfortunately most of the blame falls on him.
Yeah, because we all know that if you are going 35-45 mph and someone pulls out directly in front of you. You have all the time in the world to reduce your speed by 90% in six feet!

God bless him and his family. It makes me sick to see a fellow biker go down.


Sad to hear he passed when the damage wasn't even that bad to the scoot. Guys wear a damn helmet. Who knows for sure, but he would probably still be alive today if he was wearing one.

Just my two cents worth.

This happens just after the Governor declares the month of May "Motorcycle Awareness Month" in Utah.

I don't have to wear a lid in my state but things like this make me wear one without having the law tell me to.

My prayers go out ot his family.
