What sucks is that he injured or killed his passenger. If he rides to the limit and kills himself, it was his choice. He takes his life into his own hands. Treating your passenger with such disdain is sad.
We all ride like "knobs" from time to time. I did yesterday. I'll do it tomorrow. If I buy the farm riding triple digits into the back of a truck, I'd suspect that even my friends would say I was riding like a knob.
My issue is the blind eye other riders turn toward our own behavior. If a bike and a car are involved in an incident, it MUST be the car's fault. The rider COULDN'T be at fault. There are times, many times, when a car driver caused the incident (pulling over into your lane, turning left in front of a rider, etc.). In this instance, it was a stopped car struck in the rear.
Not being judgemental. Just pointing out some inequities in the comments to the article (like many that appear below similar articles every day).
