Headed northbound on Bowen in Arlington towards Wesley north of Division, South of Sanford. Orange/Gold rice rocket. Rider was apparently swerving in and out of traffic and bumped a car he was passing. Rider was DOA when police arrived. RIP.

That is sad. I can't help but wonder how long it will be before I see them pop up in an obituary when they ride by me like that. Just not smart.

I really hope he has no kids. RIP

I never understood why people would take those sort of risks. I've had many bikes, and saving a couple minutes is not worth risking your life.

Just north of division on Bowen is construction and completely fucked roads right now isn't it. WTF would anyone ride anywhere near remotely retarded right there. Not bashing any downed rider as I come from a family of bikers but save the adrenaline riding for track days or open country roads.

RIP to all the riders that have lost their lives and prayers to their families
