First of all, Jerry is not dead.
Second of all, he was neither in a Patriot Guard or a Gypsy Joker. He's a member of a Christian motorcycle group.
Third, I know these guys and they are not generally hot-rodders or show offs, especially on the interstate and on the way to a funeral. That usually is a somber time and can kind of make you think a little about being careful. Check the age of some of the guys involved. And most of them I know for a fact, I would bet they were riding a motorcycle when YOU were in DIAPERS.
The dude who went to join up with the group and pulled into the pack and HIT Jerry, now him I do NOT know or who he belonged to. He must have been high, stupid, inexperienced or all THREE. That ONE dude single-handedly brought down everyone else. Like I said, I don't know who he is, but it seemed as if you all were talking about a "THEY" in general and I DO know the rest of the "THEY" and "THEY" were doing nothing wrong. "THOSE" guys have ridden together for years, with safety first and NO accidents.
Jerry wasn't on a Harley, either. I think he actually has a yamaha or maybe it was a kawasaki. It's one with those with the "Classic" styling that sort of imitates Harley.
You know, WHY all the rumor, speculation and innuendo?
About a man who was critically injured? Sad.
On the way to a FUNERAL for another man? Again, sad.
I see a lot of people here bashing and stereotyping people who ride Harleys.
You know what THEY (most of them, anyway) have that some of you others are missing?
A feeling of "brotherhood", for ALL people who ride ANY TYPE of motorcycle!
These Christian riders were going to show their support for a fellow brother, motorcyclist and HUMAN BEING.
Why would they ride amongst outlaws, you ask? Because they still have a feeling of brotherhood, a love of motorcycles and riding.
Some of them have lived that "bad" sort of lifestyle in the past, and who should they minister to? Certainly they don't need to preach to a choir, right?
They feel they are needed amongst their brothers, not to preach at them, but to perhaps just show some faith and support in a time of need.
How about not feeling all superior about your type of bike you prefer or your superior riding skills and having a little compassion?
Accidents happen, mistakes happen, stupid people happen, drunk drivers are everywhere, deer happen, falling rocks happen...etc
It could happen to you, too.
