The dude should of stopped. He probably would of gotten off with a ticket instead of fleeing the scene.
Happened to Tiffany at the Gap, too bad the HD boys didn't know who they were screwing with...She stuffed them hard in a corner to get by!

How about we keep in mind that 4 riders lost their lives probably not due to anything they did or didn't do. Keep your eye on the tragedy at hand instead of puking insults to a tragic tragic accident. These people were out on a joyfull riding even and now there are 4 dead riders and 1 dead inocent in the passenger seat of a car. 5 people lost their lives assholes. How would you feel if that was your family. This stupid talk about Harley riders this or that. I guess I'm glad that I know how you would all talk about me if that was me riding.

f'in stupid!

Don't block traffic and piss off the cagers = no road rage, no stupid cagers pass.

Ride properly and the chances of things like this happen are pretty low.

No offense meant Gas. Cage drivers kill without regard to who is riding what. My comments were not meant to say they had done anything to deserve it. I only wanted everyone to think about spacing and how to avoid being in the accident.
My 2nd post about tassles was in poor taste due to the tragic nature...

You never know what poor drivers are capable of, I pass a lot on a two lane road going back and forth to work(not talking about the gap either.) Legal passes with a dotted yellow where I have clear room to pass. I am always surprised what some people will do when they are coming at me as I am passing. I have had people swerve all over the place when I had plenty of time to get back over into my lane without effecting them. A lot of drivers are complete tards.

We will never know the circumstances of the story that caused this crash because every person will spin their own version.

Well it's like talking about stupid squids ramming themselves into walls or vehicles, I won't hold any punches for them. If a train of dumb pirates piss off cagers and fuck up the world when the cager goes bananas, then I won't do the same. You know these groups. This is pretty common.

No offense Gas Man but here are the FACTS:
1. The Dodge Avenger is a crappy car
2. It's platform is shared with the Mitsubishi Eclipse


You can call people assholes and I may get flamed for this but the facts are clear.

Thats all I have to say about that....

Agreed, I have had that happen several times as well.

You, I, nor anybody else here knows exactly what happen beyond 5 people died. Respect that and their families they leave behind. This is completely tragic, regardless of the circumstances.

This is true... on both counts and not what I was referring to. But those facts and the 5 dead are the only facts thru this thread.
