I bet he won't be happy when he gets his rate increase!
Check out my oil filter forensics thread!                     Offended? Click here
"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Sorry to hear the story...  Hurts to see the 1098R laying on her side like that...

Sad thing is, that jackass may well have the state required minimum insurance. $25k liability, which of course won't even cover the 1098r, let alone everything else.
Just hope that woman who got hit is ok.

It good that nobody was killed. It proves that the unexpected will happen.

Why isn't there a chalk line around that dead duc?

i heard about it just a few minutes after it happened and was just a few minutes down the road, so i went over with a few friends to see if anyone we knew was hurt or involved at all.  sad stuff...the conditions there are fairly optimal for something like this to happen; it's a somewhat "developing" neighborhood....people are usually going pretty fast down this road.  but i suppose you never know when someone is going to do something retarded, no matter what neighborhood you're in.
