The right to choose to wear a helmet I believe is agreeable. Choosing not to wear one, not so much.
crickett: It is a simple case of “the truth hurts” and people who can’t take it but sure can dish it out. If you are going to post on any website, you better be prepared for people to disagree with your comments. If you are easliy offended and closed monded, don’t open your mouth and post. It’s plain and simple.
I don’t see why people tell others to shut up on here. That aggrivates me. This is a place for comments and opinions. It was an unfortunate accident, he was under unfortunate circumstances. But I don’t see where police would lie about suspended license.

“He wasn’t a suspended driver” (your comment)
Excerpt from article:
“Reedy was operating his motorcycle with a suspended license, troopers said”
That pretty much sums up the facts from the news and police!!!
Maybe you should read the article better.
To Chico and Baze:
HAHAHAHAHA - Great Comments :)
has anyone tried those deer whistle things you can put on your car to deter the deer from running into you? just wondering if those work…
my daughter hit a deer last month or should I say that it hit her. Damaged was over $2500. It ran into the side of her car. By the way one ran into me also this month. So it is the deers causing the problems not the drivers.
No helmet; check.
No license; check.
Hardley-Ableson; check.
Yep, fits the ‘profile’. The toxicology report will probably be typical too.
To Chico,
Don’t say stuff if you don’t know all the facts. He wasn’t a suspended driver. And even if he was, it’s not a funny event AT ALL. He is my father in-law. So for all of you who want to run your mouth, don’t unless you know the facts. You don’t get all the facts from the cops and the news. So just shut up.
the rumor is that the deer was running from the grandma who was chasing it with a shovel. Must have been in her garden again.
WHAT A DUMMY NOT WEARING A HELMET.
WONDER IF THE DEER IS OKAY?
IF ONLY MORE DEER COULD CATCH SUSPENDED DRIVERS LIKE THIS MORE OFTEN
