100 Yards? Doesn't even seem possible!

But that's what the police report said! A big heavy Harley trike!

This is my regular haunt, was going to go thru there today but changed my mind....probly still crawling with investigators.

Man, sometimes it doesn't matter how careful and safe you are!

Probably at the top of the list of scary scenarios for me....ray: for the victims & families.

The velocity they hit them with was substantial.

Me too! I've driven right by turns to avoid sitting out there like a target! :shocked:

It's a 55 mph zone but man, that bike would half to weigh right up there....700 - 800 lbs, maybe more? :dontknow:

Sorry to hear of the tradgedy. Waiting or even slowing to make a turn into a drive can be very scarry and dangerous. I think about that scenario everytime I consider making a turn off the roadway.

ray: go out to the families.

The weight of the bike might have helped carry it so far... it gained a lot of momentum with that punt from the rear! :yikes:

True, if the wheels were still freed up (don't see how they could be but you never know) it may have rolled a long ways.


I just hope they didn't see it coming!

Not sure what's going on with the driver of the car....they haven't released his name. We know he was from CT and drove a 2010 Hundai Sonata, but they aren't saying who he is. What is he....a Kennedy or Rockefeller, Cuomo....what? :dontknow:

We are never promised tomorrow. Prayers for the family.
