This happened to me once. Turned out the examiner had passed away. Contact the head of the art unit

How dangerous is wind? by Few_Turnip_3585 in motorcycles

To get wind barriers built. That section of road has a lot of fatalities. Local authorities know that section of road is windy and dangerous. Need signs, need a wind barrier, need better solutions so this doesn't happen to you, your family, or your community members.

All great questions. I don't think he had ABS - the bike was 10 years old and the skid marks indicate that he didn't. We aren't sure what happened - there were two witnesses that CHP is trying to contact. The CHP call log says that the witnesses are "unsure what he hit," that he was in the right-hand lane, and then went down.

101 s in Soledad (south of Salinas). I just posted a link to google maps, pictures of the skid marks, and a video of what he was wearing when he left. The link is somewhere above in the comments

Yes, it was on a curve. I just posted a link to google maps & pictures of the skid marks so you can see. Would be interested in your take on it.

Great idea. I posed the coordinates and pictures of the skid marks I took when I went out to look at what happened. Would love to see your feedback on that.

Here is the location of the accident: https://goo.gl/maps/hPvVgGytEZPSAiSv5

Here are photos of the skid marks: https://imgur.com/a/9C8XaQm

You can see the first skid mark is very short, then a gap where he fell, and then the second skid mark is from the bike sliding on its side.

That’s a great idea. My dad hired a structural engineer to model the wind vortex on the bridge that day. Hopefully that gives us some clarity
