    This is unbelievable! I think there has been at least one road death every day This year so far. How much longer will this continue?
    RIP to the young man who died so tragically.

    Terribly sad. There is a big disconnect with vehicle drivers not having any awareness for motorcycles on the roads. People who ride are the most vulnerable, but yet shown the least regard by a large portion of drivers. Deepest condolences to his family. RIP.
