Oh please. Since we don't know what happened, we don't know if he was driving too fast, drunk, or whether the other driver was at fault. As for selfish...NO IT WASN'T. He rode a motorcycle. BIG DEAL. Riding a motorcycle is not selfish. It's just something you do (or don't). As for the person who said riding is inherently unsafe, you don't know what you are talking about. You clearly don't ride. Riding is as safe as YOU want to make it. You can ride and be safe, or ride and be unsafe. What the heck do you folks think when you think of cyclists? Lunatics and Hell's Angels?

Actually, around these parts (Pittsburgh area) it's not safe to drive or ride in anything less than a tank. Even the smartest, most careful driver can be involved in a major accident. Has a lot to do with our krappy roads, goofy terrain and of course, the idiot drivers who have sprung up around here lately. If as has been reported, this accident did occur at 10th & Armstrong Tunnels -- I know that spot -- it's a lousy intersection. And we have had a number of motorcycle accidents around here lately -- kinda comes with the nice weather -- but there have been a rash of them -- some of them fatal. If he comes out of this alive, he will be lucky.
