RIP to the riders. I hope all of CSC is accounted for.

And I just fucking love how they had to add this bit: "Damien Knight said he was eating lunch at nearby McAlister's Deli when the motorcycle zoomed by. Knight estimated the motorcycle's speed at 75 mph. The speed limit at that location is 55 mph."

According to Fox 31 News, the two killed near Hughes Stadium were on a stolen bike. It looked like silver and black CBR600RR.

Anyone here missing their CBR?

Well, if that's the case...

I didn't see the wreck but I saw the bike and the mini van on two flatbed tow trucks. It looked like the bike hit the mini van hard. RIP

Agreed. Also, it never says who Damien Knight is. Is he a police officer trained at estimating the speed of a moving vehicle, or was it the bus boy who's only ever been 55 mph b/c that's where his mom's chevy celebrity tops out?

No kidding, IMO that bit of infomation of Knight isn't worth reporting to the public.

it really sucks when a passenger pays the ultimate price (that's why I always ride alone).
RIP riders.
