God bless him. I observe most young riders without protective gear and riding cluelessly. MUST invest in advance riding classes and wear proper hi-viz gear.
Why did the police respond? Don’t they know AOC and her clueless supporters don’t want them here?
Wow, what a strange thing to say. I think you’re confused.
Maybe have some respect for the Sunnyside man killed in a motorcycle crash.
Driving way too fast for conditions, bikers see an open road ahead and its 40 to 100 in 6 seconds…wroommmmmmmmm then crash!
