The 2000 Honda motorcycle was traveling at a high rate of speed on the outbound Kennedy Expressway when it rear-ended a vehicle near Division Street, shortly before 2 a.m., an Illinois State Police District Chicago sergeant said.

A witness said the motorcyle was going at least 80 or 85 mph.

The 20-year-old woman, whose identity was withheld pending family notification, was ejected from the motorcycle, landed in the roadway, and was struck by a car, police said.

The man driving the motorcycle was taken in critical condition to Northwestern Hospital.

Only the man was wearing a helmet, police said.

Her name was Michelle Miller.

You're right, this is getting WAY outta hand!

 

u knew who she was??...man that sucks

 

No, I didn't know her .... I just heard it this morning on the news and for some reason it stuck in my head.

 

man this is getting way outta hand...just a few weeks ago we went to the funeral for the fallen rider out of Nu-world ryders. James Sumler...he was flying in and out of traffic, lost control and hit a wall and bounced under a semi and was drug from 79th all the way to 85th. This **** needs to cease. Driving like that is INSANE

 

Tonight on Channel 5 NBC at 10:00 there will be a special segment called night riders and they are taken a look at the growing trends with sport bikes and deaths. They interviewed a couple of our Stunnas so check it out. And we got a page dediicated to the Nu World Ryder James Sumler at www.numberonestunnas.com

 

yea i peeped it on ya'll page...we never put anything up on our site but we went to his funeral and rode in that funeral procession

 

there have been wayyy too many bike accidents this year

 

exactly
be easy out there

 

I'm starting to wonder, how can anyone on a stunt oriented web site suggest people ride safer?!?!? Okay, I got that off my chest.

Anyone that has been riding for a few years knows this is NOTHING new. Look at the past few years! Generally every fall we loose quite a few riders. Last year they were all happening around here instead of the city. I remember it was like 5 - 6 Saturdays in a row that people died in Aurora, Naperville, and surrounding areas. It always seems to happen at the end of the season. I don't know if it's because people are trying to squeeze as much riding in as possible or if maybe people figure "If I'm gonna do a wheelie, I need to do it before winter" or what. Maybe it's because the motorcycle dealers are running sales or something so newbies are out there. Maybe it's because as the weather gets cooler, there is let's to do so more people (cagers) are at the bars? Who knows. The bottom line is, this is nothing new. IT HAPPENS EVERY SEASON!


The thing that really gets me, is freakshow fat rich bitc# housewives with nothing better to do are now calling for helmet laws. This is how it starts kids .... and this is why Harley guys hate us. A few inexperianced riders do stupid things and we all end up paying for it. They really want to pass legislation, they need to mandate that in order to get your M class license you need to take an IQ test, not a drivers test.

 

or go to a european style licensing system where you have to have so many years of experience before riding bigger bikes
