Being as the people hit the curb, which as has been noted, was a poor design, I do blame the road. Unless they died from a toxic substance, the toxicology report changes nothing. OMG, people DIED, and nobody is supposed to "moan"? PEOPLE DIED. Oh, you think the board isn't for discussions too, bt? What is it for then? Opinions you approve of, or what? Or just name-calling? Let's all cheer for everything that happens downtown! Yippee!
Madm x ,henry libertine - cicero etc you say If the Democratic government didnt put the curb in the way of the motorcycle rider he would still be alive ?
You tangle every thing up with your political nonsense you end up sounding like a bunch of kooks.
Ya ya people died the democats killed them . boy what a discussion. sick

This may be the dumbest most ignorant statement I've ever read here, and I've read some pretty dumb ignorant statements.
The person who wrote this is so full of sh*t they need to have Rotterdam Septic come and pump them out.
Maybe Witchhunt is the wrong term. This is more like a mob of kooks or a lynch mob.
I need to find a different outlet where there are actual discussions taking place, the 5 or 6 of you who constantly post here should probably do the same.
I'm still waiting for the toxicology report though. TTTT.

Freaking witch hunt??? Yeah, right... Here's some discussion for ya.... I purposely went down Erie blvd tonight on my bike, which is the almost the same model of the one the couple was on...I purposely traveled it at 30 mph and then at 38 mph.... My impressions? Even at 30 mph, the elevation changes in the road, combined with the right turn, unloads the suspension more than I expected. The unloading caused me to drift a little farther left than I wanted to. At 38 mph, which was the second attempt, I knew what was coming, and still drifted out about the same as 30 mph, probably because I was so much farther right in the lane than before.
My final thoughts? I think everything contributed to the crash, the speed, the intersection, and median. My suspension unloaded pretty good and I am 185lbs with gear... He was a good size guy and she wasn't small.. I conservatively say 350lbs...That increased weight effects the suspension and maneuverability of the bike in a negative fashion. One thing I am sure of... if the Median was not there and Erie was at it's previous configuration, there is no curb to hit and there's a good chance that couple is still alive.
You at least have put forth a reasonable argument. You did some testing and considered all the factors (minus of course the toxicology results which aren't available yet) involved that may have caused the accident. Good job!!

If someone views a road....'A ROAD' as life threatening..........DON'T USE IT!!! take some personal responsibility here!
and as a side note.....if high taxation causes crime....then the shooters, robbers, drug dealers should be considered patriotic heroes!!!! they are fighting against high taxation....right?

You would have to drive on it first though to even be able to make that assessment. I don't like the new layout myself, and avoid it at night or when it is raining as it doesn't leave much room for error and my depth perception is not the best in those conditions.
If you think that Erie Boulevard is too dangerous to drive on than you probably shouldn't be driving at all.
