I haven't seen this posted yet.

A motorcyclist was found two days after going off of Hwy12 ( I heard one report that he hit a rock ) in California. The wind positively howls across the road and it can be a pretty intense ride, especially when a big rig goes by in the opposit direction. He had two broken legs and couldn't get back to the road.

Now the thing that pisses me off is supposedly CHPsays theysearched by air and by ground and said they couldn't find him or his motorcycle, yet the man's family cartered a chopper and found him in thirty minutes ( when I first got pissed, the report said it was tenminutes ).

I hate to be unfair to law enforcement, but how many tickets did they manage to write while this guy was laying on the side of the road with two broken legs ?

I know it's unfair to be critical, but it was just awhile ago something like this with a car happened in Oregon. A They found a missing couple's car about ten feet from the road a couple of months after they'd been reported missing. A caller called 911 and reported the car going off and told them where.

DO they actually even look ? What would we prefer they do, rescue people and be heroes, or write tickets ?

Man this sounds harsh, I know. For some reason this really pisses me off.

 

Writing tickets is more profitable, actually helping people isn't.

 

That blows

 

I guess the good part is that they found him alive. Could have ended much more tragic for his family

 

I had considered getting Lojack for this sceanario as i do most of my riding solo but it doesn't cover enough areas. I'm not sure there is anything other than a cell phone to help us in these situations.

 

Holy Crap, glad they found him alive

 

that really sucks, glad they made it. i doubt he will be giving to the policemens ball this year.

 

Give it a break, I'm sure everyone here knows all the facts, especially if it was in the local paper and of course the all factual Internet.

 

good deal. didn't think they would find him alive. hwy 12 is a windy beeeitch. always end up riding at a 30 degree angle against the wind.

 

Your kidding, right?
