Speeding ey, try slowing down before the turns
They don’t have the full story. This is my brother, when he came into the corner there was a deer in the road and trying to avoid hitting it caused him to hit the bridge. Speed and is not the reason he crashed
And yes he was wearing a helmet
Patch, just glad your brother Brian is OK. I ride and it leaves you naked as a jay bird. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Glad he’s ok but speed is a factor if you crash at 70 on a 35 Mph road. School buses and locals use that road…if he wants to go fast lovely to Hwy 36..
Avoiding a collision and maintaining control at 35 mph is easier than at 70 mph.
His stated speed was 70+, but speed wasn’t the reason he crashed. Sure it wasn’t.
So it’s news when you hurt yourself in a single person accident? No tickets, no real news here. only embarrassing to the person
She’s reporting an accident. All she reports.
Yes indeed that technique works wonders for avoiding a BAD case of Road Rash, such as was received by this unlucky individual!!!
