RE: Bagger Down

Wonder if an airbag + helmet would have made a difference?

RE: Bagger Down

Damn,

I know right where that is, and yes, its mere blocks away from our Main Salt Lake Dealership.

Just so you guys know, that area is a 35 mph zone.

I know its everyones right (in Utah at least) to choose not to wear a helmet, but I sure wish this guy would have been. If the vehicles involved were obeying the speed limit, high speed was not a factor here. Guys head hit the ground, (or the car) and he's gone.

Ive been giving a lot of thought lately about changing from a 1/2 lid to a 3/4. I think this has finalized my choice. Your skull is just no match for the ground, at any speed. And when this happens, it doesn't really matter to your head if the cage driver is at fault or not. Your gone.

Rest in Peace Bro.

My prayers go out to the family. Hopefully there were some witnesses to see if the cager just pulled out in front of the bike.
