    ^ nice! Be interested how the patients did in the long run, whether their tourettes went into full remission or came back.

    Sweet bike, I want one!

    Wonder how good the autogear is, and how durable it is.

    It's very tragic but was quite avoidable.
    Sometimes you really have to step back, take a breath and calm down. That apparently didn't happen here.
    The video I've seen of the incident is far from conclusive.
    What's clear is that anger caused the kid to make a very bad decision...which ultimately cost him his life.

    The fact that he chose to run into the middle of the race track was the deciding factor.
    Such a tragedy, completely gut wrenching...

    Just saw the video, that was so very stupid of Kevin Ward Jr.

    I just did a quick search and clicked on this link that caught my eye:

    If you also watch the video again, when Kevin got out of his vehicle, all the other (14) drivers did not slow down (they were actually faster than when tony struck kevin) apart from the car just before tony's (which was closer to the apex and Kevin had just walked suddenly into the middle of the (night) track to which the driver slowed down but who's path was already clear of kevin). Tony's path may have been directly in line with middle of the track and considering Tony's speed, hitting his throttle (if that was actually him hitting the throttle) could be explained as trying to get the car to turn out of the way of Kevin (because Tony was already traveling pretty fast and it's a dirt track….and i don't think braking would have helped change his path as much as adding throttle when driving on a dirt track but i'm not sure).

    There is insufficient information to really conclude for sure what Tony did to cause/avoid the collision but with kevin's we have enough to know that he was being incredibly reckless to walk into the middle of a track to block/confront a driver…..under caution flag or not. Utter foolishness.
