The press is really attacking the guy. Dangerously fast bike, no helmet, no license, irresponsible, etc. I still have yet to hear any press remark about the need for car drivers to be more attentive to what's on the road. Rather than more legislation, let's spend some money on public service anouncements to help educate car driver's to be more responsible. Nowadays car drivers have endless distractions from cell phones, GPS maps, CD players, and everything else they feel can be done while driving. With all these distractions it's amazing there aren't even more accidents with pedestrians, bicycles, and motorcyles being hit by cars. It will probably get worse.
I have a motorcycle license, choose to ride with a helmet, and treat cars as mortal enemies out to kill me. It's a serious game I can't afford to lose. 2 and 1/2 years ago my wife and I were almost killed when rear ended in our car (sitting at a red light) by a couple having sex at 55 mph. Please, let's find some way to increase driver awareness and responsibility. Drivers not paying attention are lethal loaded weapons on the road.
