A motorcyclist was killed in a fiery crash that sent him off his bike, into a light pole and over an Interstate 95 overpass, according to authorities. The wreck happened around 11 Tuesday night in the northbound lanes of I-95 just south of I-395 in Miami. “The morotcyclist ... somehow lost control,” Miami Fire Capt. Ignatius Carroll told reporters. “The impact was so severe that the motorcycle actually caught fire and there was debris that was scattered not only on the highway but down onto Northwest Third Avenue.” Authorities shut down northbound I-95 near I-395 and Northwest Third, causing extensive traffic delays. The highway was opened in time for Wednesday morning commuters.

Be seen…LED motorcyle jacket The impulse motorcycle jacket is not the first jacket to use LED’s to improve the safety of two wheel riders, but it is the first to tightly link to the bike’s brake and indicator lights Thus when the user brakes both the lights on the bike and jacket turn on, the same for the turn lights.

The handy work required is illustrated in the follow photo. The heavy and relatively stiff nature of a motorcyle jacket make it sympathetic to embedding electronics within it, so you don’t need to compromise the garment feel, which is more of a problem with lighter fabric clothes. The following video shows the jacket being put through its paces.

Movistar Yamaha MotoGP’s Lorenzo is the form rider in the premier class at present and he ended the day on top by 0.147s from his compatriot Espargaro despite a crash after losing the front end late in FP2. The morning’s fastest Espargaro (NGM Forward Racing) ended the day second overall courtesy of his FP1 best. The pressure is off Marquez this weekend after he secured the 2014 title on Sunday at Motegi but the Repsol Honda star was the rider to get closest to Lorenzo in FP2, though he was behind Espargaro on combined times in third overall. Iannone (Pramac Racing) was 0.2s down on Lorenzo in fourth, but he too suffered a late crash in the afternoon. Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team) and Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) both finished the day inside the top six. Cal Crutchlow (Ducati Team), Pol Espargaro (Monster Yamaha Tech3), Yonny Hernandez (Energy T.I. Pramac Racing) and Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda Team) completed the day’s top ten. Dovizioso (D...
