@Merak, for motor bikes, it tends to be a bunch of flowers, and pictures at the nearest tree to the accident. This is a long standing tradition.
Not sure I follow your argument; we should not put up memorials, as the roads are too crowded?
Leave it to the families, I say. If it helps them come to terms with their grief, and with motor bikes, warn of what happens when we ride recklessley, then we should respect their wishes. Things that make us consider our mortality, and how the daily cares and dramas of our city lives are of little import, when faced with real tragedy, must be good for our souls.
