Maybe i can bring some insight to this conversation.

No one here is denying the poor choice he made that day. Not even the friends or family. But we ALL know that anytime you get behind the wheel or the tank, you take on responsibility. It sounds to me (i was not there) like he was in his lane, but the car switched lanes.
The car is responsible as well. To what degree is the only question. But no doubt that BOTH parties are responsible. Cars not seeing bikes is a big problem, (i know this personally since i was hit and almost KILLED this past spring.) But as they stated the car admited it saw the bike. which is worse than not seeing the bike.

What i think is worse is the attack on this individual, ESPECIALLY from fellow motorcycle riders. FOR SHAME. Him acting irresponibily is true, but we should be morning AND celebrating his life, just as they have said. We are all in the same position every single time we start the bike. We are always at a disadvantage when we get on the road. We should be looking out for each other. The choice he made that day is wrong, but to attack the family and friends in the way some of you have is shamefull. There is NOTHING any of us can do to reverse to erase the damage done, so why argue and demean the survivors?

Dispicable

You should go through ONE day of what MY family or ridetilidiegirl's family went through, ONE DAY! I doubt very much you make it to see the next sunrise.

May he rest in peace.
