Read this on hdforums.com and the friends of the deceased that were with him are selling their bikes because of it. Prayers to them and the young fellow's family.

Shame, prayers go out to his family and friends

Another unnecessary tragedy that will be called a 'accident'.  Need stiffer penalties for murdering & maiming our brothers on 2 wheels.  aaaargh.  spyder

Interesting that an Ex-Cop would refuse the breathalyzer. Food for thought.

This happened once before in Myrtle Beach--maybe 7-10 years ago.  Another cop hit a guy on a Boss Hoss, killed him and got off scott free even though it was his fault completely.

I see a pattern...........

Really wrong on so many levels. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Very sad news.

X2 - can't believe the penalties aren't stronger.

Yea but he's still screwed. In most, if not all states, if a person is involved in an accident that results in death or great bodily harm AND there is reasonable suspicion to believe that the driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol they cannot refuse a chemical test. I have personally held a person down while a doctor drew blood AND inserted a urinary catheter to get a sample that was sent to a lab for processing. This was after the driver hit a tree (while drunk) and killed a family member in the passenger seat.

So when the lab results come back they will hammer this guy.

not so unusual. At least over here any insider will refuse breathalyser tests, I strongly advise all my clients to do so. Only blood analysis is really reliable, gets double checked and can be retestet if it gives questionable numbers.

Unfortunately history shows that in Myrtle Beach there are two standards--- 1 for the public and 1 for the government and policing authorities.

My sense is that this will either get buried or there will be some sort of "hand slap" punishment.

Knowing this if I were the family, I would hire a great personal injury attorney and litigate his a.. off!!

Of couse if the Feds get involved then it just may come out right.
