HD riders are known for not using decent safety equipment and that bullshit open helmet or none.

A freaking motorcycle with 300+ kilos moving ate highway speeds or more.

He had a fully-enclosed helmet, was wearing leathers and boots, and has years of experience. Was legitimately sober (I talked with him right before he left). One hand now looks like a grimreaper's bones, sticking out from blood-caked jerkybits.

Certainly speed was a factor but isn't that why ya'll ride?
