It's not bad timing, it's perfect irony. (My condolences to his friends and

"Contos, of Parish, hit his brakes, and his motorcycle fishtailed and
went out of control, flipping him over the handlebars, police said."
Can one assume he used only the rear brake? It might appear that ..
just perhaps .. he was not an experienced rider.

One can assume he was a space alien if one wishes, but
I'm not so sure it has to be true. Ever grab a big handful
of front brake when you didn't really intend to ? It gets pretty
interesting after the front tire starts chirping.
Inexperienced rider I'd have to agree with.

You think that large helmetless group rides might possibly
have some safety issues ?
