Not sure . .. but on the news film this morning the bike sure looked like a Buell.

Anyone know who this might have been?

That sucks. I hope the survivors are OK. We all know the risks riding two wheels but no-one expects to go like this. I would like to know what caused the cager to lose it and if he was on drugs or something I hope he gets punished to the full extent of the law. Keep us posted.

Follow up comments suggest it may not have been a "parked bikes clobbered by rampaging driver", but possibly a "bikes try and whip into the left lane to get around a stopped bus and get clobbered by a car headed for the same space.

Who knows until the investigation finishes. My condolences to the rider and family.

Don't take stupid risks folks. The light will eventually change or the car will eventually move.
