a little crazy to ride a motorbike in such congested area with a bunch of people that don't know how to drive.

I got rid of my Motorbike a long time ago, life is to short for such a thrill gamble.

Traffic on 85 North at that time of day is minimal - however, many times cars pull IN FRONT of the car/s in front of you and that causes a chain reaction, often leaving a driver with no where to go, OR a driver can momentarily turn their head to the side to look for another lane, and before they know it, everyone is slamming on their brakes.... it can happen to ANYONE, not just motorcyclists. If riding a motor cycle wasn't a "reasonable risk" insurance companies wouldn't insure motorcycles. People die in car collisions, private plane crashes, and ski accidents all the time. May he rest in peace and condolences to the family.
