Default Biker Killed

Thought I'd pass this along, always sad too see a motorcyclist killed, but this one could have been avoided. According to police, body was thrown 300 ft, tach and speedometer were 300 feet apart. Speedometer was pinned at 110 and tack at 8,000.

100 MPH at 2am? Sad that some kids never live long enough to get the stupid stuff out of their system. I know most of us used to be like this kid when we were young...we were just luckier. RIP.
