looks like someone got the hurricane party started a bit early… In all seriousness though. I hope the rider is safe and I hope everyone is safe during the storm.
I’ve seen some fools riding bikes at breakneck speeds right after Tropical Storm Fay even with all the debris still on the roads. Not saying this guy was speeding but everybody should slow the hell down!!!
