Sending 🙏 for this person and their family and friends.
SO sad for the rider and family, My condolences. My brother has a Harley and I worry every time he rides,
Many motorcyclists cut down Leland using the center turn lanes. It’s a game of odds until it isn’t.
I drove by the accident right after it happened. Everyone at the park nearby had their phones out recording this poor man who is laying there dead uncovered by paramedics on the sidewalk. People go too fast around that one curve and they lose control every time. I’ve seen it a few times in that same spot over the years. You would think they would do something to try to prevent that on that spot. Maybe gripping asphalt in that section that is more course so bikes don’t slide.
