So we was following too closely to the car and speeding? Is that what you're saying? I'd tend to agree with you. You still think this lady is 100% at fault? I don't.... More like 80/20, maybe even 70/30. If you're driving in front of me in a truck and I'm on a motorcycle and you swerve to avoid a moose and I hit it, who's fault is it? The moose?

What assumptions am I making? The guy slammed into a parked car in broad daylight which was avoided by both a car in front of him and a motorcycle behind him. I'm not making excuses (ie he couldn't pull over because there was a car there). I'm simply stating a car in front of him missed the parked car, and a motorcycle behind him also missed it. I wonder what they did right that he did wrong? (Speed? Not paying attention?)

I hate the fact that a lot of the 400SB has almost zero shoulder to the right of the far left lane. Always collisions there when someone pops a tire and has like 3ft of shoulder to park on.. Silly design.

Don't make assumptions as to why he couldn't avoid the car... There's zero facts to support there was a car in the lane besides him not allowing him to pull over. No one is disagreeing with anyone that she didn't start this whole scenario. But when you slam into the back of a parked car, some responsibility is placed on your shoulders as well, especially when other people avoided it.

Too many people think they 'own' the lake.

It's your responsibility to pay attention when you're operating a motor vehicle, no one else's.... Why did the first car miss her?

Only way to figure that out is to go to court. What was the ticket for?

hahaha! As long as they are gentle, some people don't mind

I wish I could up the aperture 2-3 stops so the entire bowl is in focus. I also wish I liked jam because that looks REALLY good!

You forget the guys that just like to help other people out by not going to a dealer and getting bent over with 100/hr shop charges

Was he riding with his eyes shut? This is the only way he doesn't see a parked car in broad daylight. The car before him saw it, the bike after him saw it.. He apparently didn't.

What's that thing weigh?

Ugh, a 37 year old D-man? Really?

Are you hand calc'ing that mileage over an entire tank? 35MPG US on the highway seems extremely optimistic.

1% goose attack, 99% slamming your face off the ground = OMG LOOK WHAT THE GOOSE DID!!!!!! Gotta love the news.

I like this idea of generating revenue the best.

I don't think anyone would complain if this $$$ went right back into the fisheries.

Looks like I've got fathers day gifts figured out for a while now!

That's an I-Pilot Ron is sporting (Remote control for the bowmount trolling motor)

She didn't lock up the brakes, one car avoided her which was in front of the motorcycle, as did one behind the motorcycle that crashed. No one is saying she didn't break the law, but I find it funny you think the guy who drove into a parked car in broad daylight has not even a sliver in responsibility in this entire thing.

Of course they did, no one is saying she deserved to be found not guilty. It will be interesting to see what the judge comes down with.

So what kind of punishment do you think that deserves?

Many threads about this already if I'm not mistaken.

HH, you don't think the driver of the motorcycle takes any responsibility in this? Like none?

You should have no problems getting a few big pike to 'scare' you... I envision lots of screaming on your trip! lol!
