Apparently, there's not a lot to do in July in Northborough, the MetroWest Daily News reports:
As officers responded to the report, police received a call about a motorcycle that had crashed into a pole on Crestwood Drive, Sgt. James Scesny said. But instead of a motorcycle, officers arrived to find a snowmobile by the side of the road and Sikora lying in the road.

Why a snowmobile?
He was too drunk to even ride a motorbike.
An ER doc friend once told me that they only very rarely see drunk motorcyclist injuries because it is too difficult to ride when drunk.
Interesting to think about.
Perhaps it's more likely that
Perhaps it's more likely that they rarely see drunk motorcyclists because they are more often pronounced at the scene.
I did ask about that.
It is mostly that it isn't really possible to ride very far or very fast when you are drunk. They did see a few "tried and fell over right away" drunks, but that's it.
BTW - there really isn't any "pronounced dead at the scene" anymore, anyway. Far to easy to make a mistake like that. They pretty much all go to the ER and are checked in a setting with more gear, and sent to the morgue from there.
This would be interesting to study if it weren't dangerous to study.
Well, I've known people who
Well, I've known people who routinely rode motorcycles while so drunk that they forgot to put their feet down at stoplights, and would just fall over.
BTW - Generally, you are correct, but people who are pretty obviously dead are still pronounced on scene, usually by the medical examiner. Wrecked motorcyclists probably fall into that category more than, say, motorists.

Why do they call it under seems to me they should call it over way the hell over.
