I heard about it when I was watching the special on the news tonight....right after they get done bashing all of us they stated that a young rider had died in St Pete but gave no specifics other than witnesses said he was speeding and was seen doing a wheelie soon before the accident....RIP

sounds like what happened to my friend........ he was doing a wheelie down the street when this 80 year old lady made a left turn in front of him (mind you there was 3 other bikes right behind him), so he put it down and as soon as she saw him she stopped in the middle of the intersection and he didn't have time to react and ended up running into her!
They tried to blame it on the way he was riding, but do you think it could have anything to do with the age of the drivers?
