Wow!! What a mess!! I could very easily see that happen. I ride with a friend who has a bad habit of stopping suddenly for gas, smoke break, snack, etc. and I've almost nailed him a few times. (and yes, I pay attentin to the road) Trying to stay in a group formation has it's good and bad points, this was obviously a worst case scenario. I pray for those who perished.

Wow!
I watched the video they did with an eye witness. He says there was at least one person killed. Thoughts and prayers to all those riders and their families. I want to know how this happened? If you hear anymore about it please post.

wow crazy, hope people heal up and are ok.
Many Mc's ride in a very tight formation and when some *** hat does what the suv's did its can cause a mess like this. When you got twenty plus bikes a foot from each other running 80mph and someone locks up the brakes its not good situation and not many places to go.

One reason I don't like group riding. I like the concept of group rides, but I don't like group riding. Hope they're all OK. I thought this quote from a witness was interesting...
I guess she hasn't seen those bagger wheelie videos.
I know some people say they must be up to no good: They were racing or doing something. But anyone whos familiar with Harley-riding knows you dont race a Harley, you dont do tricks on your Harley. You just ride, she said.
