Title: Anyone hear of any crashes?
Post by: Rocket67 on November 09, 2015, 12:11:45 PM: I know about the one that happened the first night but haven't heard of any other injuries or fatalities due to bike wrecks. Considering the amount of people and the amount of drinking going on I am surprised. I never saw one bike down whether in a parking lot or on the street. I would say that is pretty good. With the exception of the fatility and injury in the one crash I would say this weekend seems to be one of the safest yet. Of course, everywhere you rode was just a couple of miles so not a lot of "riding" really going on.

All things considered, I woudn't call that a "Rally" related accident even if he was coming home from the Rally. Hitting cars stopped at red lights is the last thing anyone on a bike should be doing.

Among all the things that can happen, hitting a parked car is the one thing that we can avoid 100%.
