Very unfortunate

I am reluctant to ride my motorcycle after dark.

Too many deer!

All those guys are riding the ultimate ESCAPE vehicles.

I ran into a group of over 100 on US-1 in the south, they went right thru red lights like they did not exist.

Our daughter got stuck in the middle of another group of the lawless riders, they tried to make a UPS truck stop so that they could rob it.
The driver nailed it to the floor along with our daughter, and you never saw anyone move out of the way so fast!!
Glad she packs...

Yep. I had a near miss with a moose years ago... not long before I gave up 2 wheels. He came up out of the ditch and I had to lean my head to keep from hitting his. Even 30 years ago, that's not how I wanted to go.

They were both ejected, which means 95+% chance they weren't wearing seat belts.

Everyone thinks the bad thing won't happen to them until it happens. Some live to learn, some don't. The physics involved in moving vehicles are much larger forces than the amount of brainpower most people put into their own safety, ESPECIALLY when it comes to off-road vehicles.

I could say the lesson is wear the damn seat belt, but really the bigger lesson is 'assume bad things can happen to you, and plan accordingly'.

Come on man, you were never a kid?
God knows all the stuff I did when I was younger...

RIP Max
My condolences to his family and friends

Sorry if my remark sounded crude, but I watch all kinds of idiots on bikes and atv's racing by my place all day and night wide open with their open race pipes.
I raced motorcycles and atv's in the AMA and still ride. I go fast when I'm in a controlled environment....like a track.

On the roads and trails I ride respectful to others, I go past houses quietly and the big point here is I ride at a speed where I am in control and can avoid things jumping out in front of me.

Unfortunately many people think they are professional racers. What they don't realize is they lack the talent to be so.
Obviously had to be moving at a good rate of speed to die.

Yeah I gotcha and I agree... but when you were 19 years old did you behave / ride in the same exact way? Like only driving fast when on a track or in a controlled environment?

I don't know about him but when I was 19 I was one of the best drivers on the road and could handle my vehicle under any condition, at speed. The only problem was all of those pesky other motorists who only THOUGHT they were as good at driving as I was.

Lol, I hear that.
I was in that same boat, living and learning, sometimes the hard way... sometimes I just got lucky.
