Some new reporting on the incident (summarized by pro football talk):
Quote:
Our buddy Pat McManamon of The Akron Beacon Journal reports that Browns tight end Kellen Winslow's motorcycle wreck was the final incident of a long day of riding his relatively new toy.
Per McManamon, Winslow had driven his motorcycle to Canton on Sunday and visited a "bike superstore." Upon leaving the store, an off-duty cop saw Winslow pop a wheelie.
"I looked at the guy working with me and said, 'That's a million-dollar wheelie,'" Eric Stanbro told McManamon.
Winslow held the wheelie for about 100 feet, and the bike was moving fast at the time.
"He gunned it,'' Stanbro said. "He was going real fast. I'd estimate between 40 and 50 miles per hour."
But Winslow appeared to be a novice rider. "It appeared to us he was riding with a bunch of very experienced riders,'' Stanbro said. "The way they were dressed, their bikes. His bike had a 30-day tag on. He looked a little uncertain."
