That’s why some people call them murdercycles. Let’s pray he will recover and stop riding.

What a stupid thing to write on a thread like this.

Prayers up for the guy, or take your opinions to another thread.

Here's prayers for this fine patriotic American to recover quickly...

In addition (to calm my paranoia), I look forward to a very thorough investigation of the circumstances of "why" that driver cut him off...

If you have a Twitter account, you can see updates on Allen West's condition on his Twitter page.

Just so you and everyone else knows, it is not necessary to have a Twitter account to view Twitter posts. Thanks for posting that link.

I have to agree with whoever calls them “murdercycles”. Most motorcycle injuries and deaths are not the fault of the rider but someone else’s carelessness and failure to watch out for motorcyclists in traffic. This is what happened to LTC West; he did nothing wrong.

I’ve been to more than one military funeral of soldiers killed while riding; in no case was it was their fault.

I spoke to a division commander at Ft Irwin and begged him to ban soldiers from riding “crotch rockets”; it’s more than the outsize power of the small machine but also its low profile with the rider crouched down, which is much harder to see.

He replied that he didn’t have that authority (!!?).

When Army Safety Center publishes stats showing motorcycle deaths outnumbering all other noncombat causes of death, then there’s a problem.

My prayers are up for LTC West, too.

In my motorcycle days, I had more than one incident where a car deliberately swerved at me.

Uh no, I hope he’ll be ok.

I didn’t know he was running for state party chair in TX.
