[Ducati] NDC: Don't pass at the Gap

[Harlyn Jenkins]

I view it as there were already 5+ guys there to help him, so wouldn't the
cager just get in the way?  I don't think it has anything to do with it
being a Harley vs. any other bike - I wave at the Harley guys on the road
too :)

the cager was at the very least a witness.  you can have no fault in an
accident but still be involved in it.  was the cager innocent?  of course.
was he involved?  maybe a leo can answer that...  at the scene...

but regardless of all that yes, my main point was that he should have
stopped out of human decency.  if it had been me driving I would have
stopped.  I'm amazed at the number of you that are of the "well the harley
guy deserved it, 'cause he's stupid" variety.  I'm sure non of you have ever
done anything stupid...

or is it that he was on a harley?  would it have been different if that was
a beautiful 74 bevelhead?  I'm betting someone here would have stopped just
to check on the bike :P
