Wife talked to her best friend and she was told one of her relatives died on motorcycle on Sunday . Major crash up on I 83 in Pa . He was running a go-pro at the time and it shows the crash while happening . If you google this info , you can see the film and what actually caused this tragedy . His Mom wants this film to remain on his facebook page . I was told he entered into a " death wobble " or to the bikers , a " tank slapper " . Either way , it didn't end up well for him .

Stay safe on the roads , especially if on two wheels .

Yikes- I know what a tank-slapper is, I've experienced it. Sorry to hear that

Jeeez,
That's awful.
I sold my beemer, the possibilities of a bad day just kept creeping into my thoughts.
I was 60, I have no regrets.
The death wobble hit me on my Honda 750 back in 1979. I was going too fast and they were ill handling bikes IMHO

That's awful. Sorry to hear about that. Condolences to your wife's friend and family.

When I was young I used to love riding motorcycles, but you couldn't PAY me to drive one on the highway today. NOBODY pays attention to what's going on around them. I travel a major state highway every day and not a day goes by I don't have some idiot pass me in a no passing zone, or cross the center line looking at their cell phone. I've got friends that still ride, but most of them are cutting way down on their motorcycle time.
