I guess the seller of that helmet only sold ONE of those helmets and the driver of the motorcycle had the Only one that made. God you sound like such a idiot. Get outta here, dumbass.

How do you know he was not doing speed limit? Where do you recognize the helmet? I drive central ave everyday and see many crotch rockets and they are different color bikes with them all wearing the same helmet. So in your opinion the driver that took his life is not at any fault. I think you calling people idiots is out of line and disrespectful. He put his life on the line everyday as a firefighter I hope for your families sake one of the firefighters called to your home when it catches fire doesn't find out you called a fellow brother an idiot and just lets your house burn . Don't question me cause I'm human with a heart and know you wouldn't have the courage to call anyone an idiot not hiding behind a keyboard,

Doesn't matter if he was doing the speed limit or not, the dumbass driving the car should have been paying attention and not TEXTING. Also sounds like she was suppose to YIELD to on coming traffic. Long story short, it pisses me off when I have to sit here and read how ignorant you are saying you have no sympathy. Is it because he was black? Why don't you put all that aside and think about what this woman did to the motorcycles family? How about the fact that Mr.Greenes son will now grow up without his father? Think about that.

If he were doing the speed limit, he would be alive today, and do not question me,because ive had this guy fly past me before on rt 214, and i know it was him because i recognize his helmet. I have no remorse for these idiots flying on these crotch rockets, thinking they are invincible.. Anyone with any type of common sense knows this idiot was speeding, and couldnt stop.. I have NO sympathy for this guy..
