Thoughts and prayers for everyone affected by this tragedy. It’s becoming far too common.
Idiots on motorcycles will never learn what gives them the right to put other people in danger with their stupidity of high rate of speed on 13th Street suppose someone in the van had a heart attack and died from stress of the idiots would really feel sorry for there family
If you hear a modern street bike top-out 3rd gear, they are likely approaching 100 mph.
13 th street is extremely dangerous for motorcycles, bike and sidewalks. Please don’t do that .I don’t understand why the put bike lines all over the street for motorcycles or cyclists very stupid decisions in streets that people driving like there’s on the highway ..no way they can’t ride safely. 🙁
