Need for Speed Eureka tryouts!!!
Those guys were both my brothers. They have been riding for years neither one of them was speeding. So unless you were there and saw what happened I would suggest you keep your mouth shut.
Oh they are good at assuming on here… It’s pathetic… They assumed a ton of shit after my car accident back in 2015! Ignore the asshats need for attention!
Nobody was speeding [edit] These r my uncles ur talking about.
Don’t talk to my Uncle Dan F like that!
Sure hope the biker will be fine. I don’t know who was at fault, but people please look for bikers on the road this time of year.
Both riders are going to be ok. Rider that was taken in ambulance has 4 broken ribs and some road rash but will be ok.
Thanks for the update Jerrt.
Excuse me but WHY was my last comment deleted???? I did NOT insult anyone or any of your other rules AFAIK!!! I believe an explanation is due!!! If this one gets through since it criticizes your posting policy, I will be amazed!!!!
Be amazed…be very very amazed…
It violates the Be Civil aspect. For god’s sake Dan. When people have just had close family sent to the hospital try your best not to add more pain.
I was stating my opinion, no more no less!!!
And I expressed my opinion by deleting it.
So this was my truck. Two bikers collided and ended up hitting my parked vehicle. They took one the hospital. Both looked ok but pretty shook up.
Thanks for the clarification “A”. Any rider anywhere would be shook up after what happened in New Hampshire to the unlucky seven riders a few days ago. If you’re riding, please take care. If you’re driving, please take extra care. Bikers riding are frequently out for a fun ride while the rest of us drivers are hurrying to get some place. Share the road, but not at the same spot, same time.
The streets were slightly damp this morning.
More showers this afternoon.
Drive safe now.
