Rider Down - RIP - US41 Brooksville (Steve Roundtree)
Just saw on the news that a sport bike (Arata exhaust) slammed into the back of a Sherrif's Deputy Cruiser.
The accident happened on US41 near Brooksville, in the north bound lane.
Both the motorcycle and the cruiser burst into flames.
The rider died at the scene.
The officer survived and is in the hospital without life threatening injuries.
They showed video of the scene.... both vehicles were wasted.
Could not make out what kind of bike it was.... could only see the remains of the exhaust.
RIP

One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.”

It was a suzuki and the riders name was Steve Roundtree, the crusier was making a U turn and and the bike was doing over 55mph, I'm thinking the cop didn't see him and pulled out in front of the rider like all other drivers do, not paying attention to motorcycles but I wasn't there so I can't say....
