Rider Missing

[hemibee]

I saw this on Two Wheeled Texans

ARLINGTON - Drivers on Interstate 20 reported a motorcycle without a rider flying by them at 100 mph Thursday night between Matlock Road and New York Avenue in Arlington.
Part of the interstate eastbound was shut down as police search for the driver.
As of 10 p.m., authorities said the search turned up a watch, a helmet and a visor. However, the motorcycle's driver was still missing.
While authorities were able to match the motorcycle to an owner's name, they haven't been able to determine yet if that was the same person on the bike Thursday night.

Wow! That would get one's attention in a hurry. Let us know when they find him/her.

Will do.

The general consensus is it was a Stunter that fell off and he may have run off after he fell off or the bike wasn't his/hers and they split before the cops showed up.

I was thinking along those lines, too. If they find him, they will be able to tell if he fell off.

I'm thinking there was a UFO in the area and the aliens grabbed him with a tractor beam and sucked him off the bike and headed back to Planet X to probe and experiment on him.

That must be it. But Arlington is nowhere near Roswell!

I'm with Hemibee.

I also think it must have been a Stunter doing what he should not have been doing

Here's some of the comments from TWT…




Yeah I hope he is ok too but like the others, I can see some dark humor in it. Maybe his buddies had a gopro and we'll see it on Tosh.0?

Maybe he well check in on one of the forums. Can you be cited for letting your vehicle wander freely with out you?

Possibly the bike had a defective flux capacitor and hence when it reached 88mph only the rider got transported.

So they still don't know what actually happened then

Yep! Good one.............

Unless a witness comes forward or the rider is stupid enough to post what really happened, LEO will probably never know what really happened. At most, they could only charge him with careless driving or failure to have his vehicle under control. I guess he could be charged with failure to report an accident. He can't be charged with leaving the scene of an accident because his bike left the scene without him!
