The motorcyclist who hit and killed the guy was not ticketed or arrested?
There have been several street racing deaths in metro Atlanta this year. Darwin at work.

Officer's testimony equals Woolsh!t in this example--that comment probably means I won't be in the jury pool. SFCJ, awefully active lately aren't we?  |

How come there is no talk about how difficult it will be to get motorcycle insurance because of incidents like this?

Sounds like it could have been a police sanctioned event with a officer in attendance !! Well, maybe not !! He said he was not there ??
He didn't cover his A$$ very well !! Bad cop...... No donut !!

Turk,
Since you own a Harley, could you set up an inspection program to make sure that motorcycles are fit for the road?
I'll be your treasurer!

I think you all should quit your self righteous grand standing. We all make mistakes. Perhaps the cop didn't know that this was illegal, and wrong to lie about it. Perhaps the motorcyclist didn't know that going 150 mph was unsafe, especially when passing people standing in the middle of the road. Accidents do happen, you know, and this was just an accident. That's why they call them "accidents". Let any one of you who has not stood in the middle of the road and video'd a passing motorcycle going 150 mph be the one to cast the first stone. Cognito Ergo Zoom, and all that.

I didn't know corvettes had a back seat.

There are racing deaths on the news here in SoCal pretty often. You don't here anything about insurance companies dropping insurance on modified Honda cars!? It's is all too easy to put the tag on Cobra owners. It's really too bad.

They don't, Fixit. Another reason why you sometimes gotta take a news report with a grain of salt. I'd really like to see that videotape, though.
Y'all take it easy now, Brett |

Bolte:
Your slam against my comments in a previous thread (that had nothing to do with standing in the middle of the street during a race) is duly noted.
However, it's too bad that your sack is so wrinkled that you've forgotten all the stupid things you did in your youth. I think it's a real shame that your CSX probably gets driven like a typical family sedan. What a waste.

Actually, my sack is usually only wrinkled in the wintertime, or while in a cold swimming pool. But, now that it is summertime in Texas, it is actually rather stretched out. But, thanks for caring, Mr. Dickey!

I know I am more comfortable in the summer,maybe this is why.
Good to know a fellow Texan is 'hanging' in there. 
Street racing is stupid and criminal no matter what age you are.
Some acts of stupidity and crimes can cost you your life.
Who's fault is that ?

You guys should apply for Gashole membership!
Hijacking a thread from accidents to wrinkled scrotums is an all time first!
