Following on from the death, on Sunday the 12th, of a FZ1 rider in Washington State area, a driver turned in front of him, comes this event.

One makes the local newspaper (http://www.columbian.com/09142004/clark_co/189058.html) the other makes it to the national news.

Last week a rider in the US died in a rather horrendous crash, one of the guys from the FZ1oa forum was only speaking to him a few days before.

NBC Article (http://www.nbc5.com/traffic/3728218/detail.html?z=dp&dpswid=2265994&dppid=65193)

Several comments have arisen from this discussion, (http://www.yamahafz1oa.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26090) two being the facts, the majority of motorcycle deaths are at intersections and below 35mph, the second being that the general public believe what the media shows.

Hey Mooch.. Ain't that similar to what's on your car? :killingme

Saw similar today between 2 cars.... lady in the 4wd just decided the other lane looked better and started running driver # 2 off the road on the left.. Lotsa beeping so 4WD lady decided to move back right into her original lane except the utter nong behind her thought! "Cool!! Half a space, I'll TAKE IT" and had already moved up and was NOT moving back. ha ha.. 3 cars wide in a 2 lane road and all pissed at each other.. Honestly! Funny thing is, the traffic was moving quite freely?? Go figure...
