The group was going to head south on County Road Q in New Haven Township when, as they approached the county road, a man in the group hit the back of the motorcycle in front of him, the statement said.
That rider, a woman, was thrown from her motorcycle along with the man, the Sheriff's Office said.
Neither was wearing a helmet, according to the statement.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, while the woman went to Mayo-Menomonie with the serious injuries.
