Oh so smart. Riding a motor after consuming alcohol. Such a Harley rider thing to do. Sounds like they were wearing the ‘next-to-nothing, do nothing’ buckets on their heads…because….you know…that looks cool as opposed to an effective full face helmet that does so much more.

Per the scanner one was getting CPR, hope they make it.

My sister was an emergency room physician for years, they called them “Donor-cycles”, good for everything except skin grafts… I hope they were wearing their leathers and helmets.
