Not good news, but FYI....Just got off the phone with my sister who lives about 25 miles from Daytona; the late night news was on T.V. The crowd this year was one of their worse ever - 15 bikers lost their lives due to accidents (both car/motorcycle AND motorcycle/motorcycle). They also reported that at one time, there was a 30 "motorcycle" pile-up on one of the interstates (I think, I-4). This is about 3 - 4 times the number of incidents as in a "usual" year. Unfortunately, I guess it's as wild and crazy as I've heard....times, they are a changin'.
