    They had his funeral services today and a large concession of bikes left the dealership. Got a couple of pics but doesn't really show the total numbers. I couldn't go as I had another job today at 1:00 PM. I watched all the bikes leave and as they hit the freeway I-205 North all hell broke loose. A car tried pushing his way through the bikes causing several bikes to crash. Several people were taken to hospitals and some in critical condition. The second picture is a friend of mine and his wife is on the other side of him. She was hit and taken to the hospital. Got banged up pretty good but no broken bones. She was one of the lucky ones that was hit.

    unreal, hope they file attempted murder charges on the driver.
    that's not an accident it's assault with a weapon...

    I think that they should put that guy on a bike and run him over with a car or truck. Maybe a really large truck. :D

    yeah that is a good idea because you never did say if they got the person right away or not. I still just cannot believe it.

    I don't know if the person was ticketed or what as I've been at a rally in Salem today. I'll see more of the people on that ride tomorrow and find out.
