I work night shift with a guy who also rides a bike. We get off work at 2am, and he has an 85 mile ride back to his house through the middle of nowhere. Last night after we left work he crashed his bike. I talked to him this morning and he is in pain but in one piece. He said he fell asleep for a moment while going around a bend, and before he could do anything it was too late. He went over a divider and into a field, and a passing trucker called 911. He'd been driving that route for a long time, and today he said, "I knew I was going to crash sooner or later, I just didn't know when." He's lucky there wasn't other traffic and he's lucky he landed in a field.
So I wanted to take this chance to remind you all not to ride when you're tired. He knows the road, he knows his bike, but you can't see the road and you can't control your bike when your eyes are closed. He said the cops estimated 50-60mph when he hit the divider. So now he's out of work for a while and a 2008 Ninja 650R is in the junk yard.
