Yeah, I read about this tragedy and watched the video, very sad. I ride on a regular basis, I LOVE riding and it's a big part of my life. I actually pulled the bike out today and went for a ride cause I haven't rode the bike since I bought my new Camaro...LOL (2 weeks) and thats VERY unusual. Even though riding a motorcycle can be dangerous (not because of the motorcycle but because of the idiots on the road) I have no plans on quiting riding. I hope to have a bike until i just get too old to handle one and who knows, maybe then i might even switch to a trike.
for those of you that are saying you won't buy one cause of the danger, it's just a matter of paying attention to whats going on around you at all times. I know in this case it might not of made a difference but then again maybe it could have. If one of them had been watching their mirrors they MIGHT have possibly been able to warn the others to get out of the way.
But, like the original poster said, please keep an eye out for motorcycles and especially don't tailgate a bike. You might not think it's a big deal but when your rolling down the road at 50, 60 or 70MPH and someones on your ass its a pretty uncomfortable feeling. Cause you know that if something happens and you go down that asshole behind you isn't going to be able to stop in time and is going to run you over.
