Lost a fellow rider and friend last night

Well, I just found out tonight that one of my friends and fellow rider passed last night. Me and Bee were sitting at Hooters eating some wings and beer when one of my other friends from the bike shop came up and told me about it. I was floored because he was a cool kid and I mean kid because he was only 21 yrs old. I was just showing him on Tuesday how to wheelie his GSXR 750 because he was too scared to try them and now he is gone. I still cant believe this. May he rest in peace. This is from the local news. FATAL MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT Motorcycle Fatal Around 11 p.m. Tuesday, a Leon County Sheriff's Office deputy was driving on Interstate 10 near Monroe Street and saw a fire in the middle of the road from a motorcycle wreck. Witnesses say at least two bikes were traveling at speeds of least 100 miles an hour. One swerved and hit the back of a dump truck loaded with asphalt. The driver felt a jolt and pulled over and saw flames behind him. The driver of the motorcycle was killed instantly. The other bike kept going and left the scene. It is not known if the family has been notified yet.

Awww man i know the feeling i'm sorry to hear that it always hits home.

:angelhap: RIP Fallen Rider... :angelhap:

RIP. That sucks.

:sorry: May he ride the ultimate twisties upstairs.

While this is saddening: The driver of the motorcycle was killed instantly. this is pathetic: The other bike kept going and left the scene. I don't care if you were breaking the law or not, you stop for downed riders. Period. You may go to jail, but damn, have some respect.

Take it to the TRACK!!!!!!!!!!

Very sad...... May he RIP.

wow, that sucks

I just saw him a week or so ago when I was in the shop...we were planning a party for our first fire of the fall in the pit on Saturday...and now, Saturday is the memorial...

:nonod: So what happened to the guy who left?

:nonod: So what happened to the guy who left? He's sitting at home thinking about how big of a tool he is for leaving his buddy to die. Dickus.

He's sitting at home thinking about how big of a tool he is for leaving his buddy to die. Dickus. idk...the kind of guy that runs for a wreck like that probably isn't unfortunatly

RIP :angelhap:

True! Was he a expierenced rider? He started out on the GSXR750 and he had about 1.5 years of riding under his belt.

1.5 yrs of riding... probably equal to 2 years up here... that's borderline as to riding that fast in traffic.... its sad... sounds like the riding skill wasnt there... It really bothers me to always hear about newbie/youngins dying on these bikes.

I just got back from the funeral and it was quite sad. There was one thing though, I never knew he had so many hot friends. I know this is off topic, but I ad to say it.

This is not going to sound serious, but it really is... I hope lotsa hot chicks show up at my funeral and all my boys get some... I don't want mine to be sad...

Sorry to hear that...RIP :angelhap:
