Pretty sad. Woman dies learning how to ride a bike (R1). Doesn't wear a helmet. Feel sorry for her husband but geez.....isn't it common sense to wear a helmet on something that can do 0-60 in 3?

OK. So she's a beginner with an R1. Mistake #1. The ultimate mistake: NO HELMET. Although I feel bad, this is something that could have been prevented
