doesn't look like they've been riding for 10 years.. if they do something that stupid.. how do you not see someone slowing down when they are RIGHT IN FRONT of you??? and a brand new zx10 getting a "tank slapper" while goin striaght and not comin down from having the front wheel on the ground.. i'm not buying the 10 yrs experience..

i'll say STUPIDITY is the cause of thie accident.. hope they get better tho

Sometimes its hard to see somebody slowing down when youre going fast yourself. You either cant see the brake lights go or youre in a turn or just plainly following to close. As far as 10 year exp. If you have that much experience, then you shouldnt be going 100mph or so on the street/canyons. That 10 years exp. should tell you to slow down.

Yeah I agree. I know someone who has 10+ yrs. experience and never thought about doing 100 in the canyons.

10 yrs experience and your going 100mph+ on unfamiliar roads in jeans?
They must not have learned very much in those 10 yrs I do hope that they are both ok though

maybe it was 10 years total for all 9 bikers ... always sad to hear these stories, at least those guys are going to be alive, could have been mush worse if there was bike to bike contact. but it never fails to amaze me, speed is almost always the factor.
