Sad news from Rapchak the man helping me on the Demon.

And most likely that jackass driver will have no charges of any kind filed against them. Up here in Maine the media always makes it appear that the biker was at fault. Idiot car driver crosses the center line and kills a biker, its the bikers fault because they didn't have a helmet on. Idiot car driver makes a turn into the path of a bike, it's the bikers fault for not being attentive and yielding to the moron car driver... it's ridiculous.

One of our Service Techs was in one of those "left hand turn" accidents last fall. Bike was completely totalled (sp?), and when I saw the pictures of his crash I was surprised he survived, to be quite honest. Thankfully he can walk again now, but not normally, and he says the Doc's have told him most likely he'll never be the same.

And he's only 31 years old.
