Not one, but two motorcycle accidents, stupid cager involved in each (the second one happened because a driver was impatient in the traffic from the first fatal accident!!!!).
Thanks to kawasaki_Joe636 over at CR for pointing this out to us.

A 25-year-old man was killed in a motorcycle collision at about 12:54 p.m. Sunday in Buffalo Grove.
Police identified the victim as Michael Lechner, of the 300 block of Lincoln Terrace in Buffalo Grove.
Police said a car exiting Old Oak Drive collided with Lechner, who was traveling southbound on Buffalo Grove Road.
Police said Lechner was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
A second accident resulted in the congestion caused by the fatal crash. A car waiting in line for traffic to proceed through the intersection of the accident became impatient and made a U-turn, colliding with a different motorcycle.
Police said only minor injuries resulted from that collision.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation. Southbound Buffalo Grove Road at Golf View Terrace is closed while investigators are on the scene.

Brave or stupid? Definitely lucky.
Soooooo the SC Staff was out to lunch today at about 1PM. We were headed northbound on Milwaukee avenue in Lincolnshire, IL.
Spotted a dark blue, newer (8th gen) Honda Civic. Bald headed guy driving it. IL license plate ending in 1986.
This is what the car looked like, but not the actual car, and the guy wasn't fortunate enough to even have an Si! Hahaha!!
Guy is speeding through Lincolnshire (as most locals can tell you is a no-no since Milwaukee Avenue is a revenue generato.... err speed trap area)... which isn't uncommon, but the next part takes the cake.
He pulls up next to a Lake County Sheriff Tahoe and continues to speed. Nothing. As we passed through Aptakisic, a Lincolnshire PD squad (car #90) turned left from Aptakisic to also head northbound onto Milwaukee Ave.
Civic guy proceeds to cut off the LPD squad (no signal either) not once but twice! Wow that's either brave or stupid.
Luckily for him the LPD squad pulled off into the neighborhood just across from Ernie's Shell station.
Why can't the rest of us have such luck? LOL!

Aha... a place to vent.
Welcome!
If you're here you're probably a rider, if not that's okay too. Cagers (car/truck/minivan drivers) do stupid crap to one another also.
Feel free to post up your comments and experiences, else we'll share those that we have.
Get your clown on.
