Man dies on new bike in dealer's parking lot

It’s illegal to not wear a helmet in NY. I hope the bike shop’s liability insurance is up to date.

Slammed into a wall.

It's easily done. Accidently blip the throttle or drop the clutch and the bike jumps forward, rider is thrown backward and the throttle is twisted even further as he/she tries to hang on resulting in more speed with the rider hanging on even tighter.

Yes she was doing a friend of hers a favor & was going to ride his bike home for him as he had too much to drink. She hadn't ridden that bike before or as powerful a one (from memory) & when she took off she got caught out and went into the wall. From what I was told I don't think she had time to try to save it. Tragic.
She was a great chic that would help anyone out

It's unfortunate, incredibly so, but this stuff happens. SkidMark's right - we're very vulnerable creatures. Think about how thin the bone is on your temple! Smacking a person on their temple with your fist could be lethal.

It wasn’t a 350 Kawasaki S2 by chance, they had a wicked power band, it Waz said that the Japanese DEVELOPED the bike as a pay back for Hiroshima
Check out the web site that sold the bike http://www.jimmoroneyscycle.com/aboutus.asp sounds like they are into getting more HP out of the HDs hope they don’t forget the Brakes

I nearly die the other day when the sealer gave me my first service invoice for new bike.

you shooda hit the seal on the head with a club - they don't wear helmets.

For moments he was a biker until he crashed, at least he died over the moon and left this world happy for buying a new bike...(we all know that buzz we get when we just purchase new bike)

RIP.

Anytime anywhere it happens....
