One things for sure, I expect lots of deaths from the faster and faster electric bikes and scooters and how stupidly some young people ride ride them in my bratty suburb

Both of these bikes were gasoline. The leaning bike guy apparently got killed during the night hours and his bike was spotted and towed, and then the next night they went out and looked and found him. No pursuit. Maybe he was drinking. The parkway is 3 lanes wide, with excellent concrete. I drive it both ways to get down to the local Xerocraft makerspace. People in Tucson HATE freeways, so this is as close as they could come to having a fast cross-town road. I can leave my house on the far east side, and be downtown at the Xerocraft warehouse in about 20 minutes. If you took regular surface streets with stop lights, it would take you an hour at least. I really LOVE this road. It is basically completely unused except during rush hour. If you Google Map it, I bet you won't be able to see more than 3-4 cars on it. Even the lights are times, so if you drive 55-60 mph, you hit every one of the lights on green. I think there are only actually 3 stoplights. Other places are off-ramps. It is built like a freeway, but they called it a parkway, to stop the locals from having conniptions. When I drive it at 1 am or so, it is empty in both directions. That is probably why no one saw leaning bike guy get killed.

The blackout bike guy, according to his widow, had no operating lights on the Yamaha motorcycle, and had been using it for several months.

Ironically, if you follow that Parkway East, it is within a 1/4 mile of the termination point on the east side, where dark bike guy got killed. At the next intersection east, it turns into a dirt road going east, out to people who have horses.

So they BOTH basically got killed on the same stretch of road, just 8 miles apart.

The driver who pulled out on the dark bike guy, was on the north side of the street, and was turning left to cross the median area, to get into the eastbound lanes. He saw nothing, until the guy smashed into his driver's side door, and no charges were filed. They declared him "Not at Fault", so that was good for him, but I am sure was still very traumatic.
