We recently posted about the seventeen Aurora traffic fatalities that have taken place thus far in 2015.

Among them were a number involving motorcycles, including one that took place earlier this week.

Yes, too many distracted drivers, including motorcycle riders. Riders always post the those pre-summer posts that tell drivers of vehicles to watch for riders.
