Fatal motorcycle accident

I've been at bike weeks/weekends for 35 years, so I know some of this is "normal," but last night was surprisingly excessive.

Think,

Both fatal accidents in the Weirs were caused by drunk drivers in a car and had nothing to do with the motorcycles. One guy was a repeat offender driving without a license and was only supposed to be driving a vehicle with an alcohol monitor attached because he was such a drunk! Curious why you would be chastising bikers and not even mentioning the obvious root cause when both instances were clearly caused by dirtbag drunks behind the wheel of vehicles and not motorcycles…

I get that some bikers drive a little crazy during bike week, but the fact is the deaths in the Weirs were not biker issues in the least and to not even acknowledge the real cause and instead chastise bikers seems a little strange…no?

I wasn't commenting on those specific incidents but rather the week as a whole. In my 1.5 hour drive, there were at least 3 moments that were inches from major damage/fatality, so, as I said, I'm surprised there haven't been more incidents.

The sad fact is that the above examples exist independently of bike week.
