Angry Be careful out there

Being an unusually warm March day for Indiana 13 of my fellow workers left work at lunch time to go riding. Only 12 of them are going to be at home with their family's tonight. One of the was killed by a driver making a U turn on a state highway.
This is the third Union brother we have lost in the last 9 months due to idiot drivers.

That sucks, sorry. The driver will walk with a failure to yield ticket or some such bull. The law should be "Kill a biker, go to jail"!

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. R.I.P..

This is another example of "Never underestimate the stupidity of cage drivers" rule.

Default Heard about this locally

Always sad to hear... Been put down because of cagers myself... The law thing sounds good but seriously?? We had a Leo in Indy run over 3 bikers on a lunch break for a misdemeanor arrest warrant that he was told to disregard and 1 died because of his negligence and there is reasonable suspiscion he was impaired during the accident and his trial still asnt seen the light of day!!!! Don't even get me started on laws and Leo's!!!!!!
