Default R.I.P. Mikey Barnes

I'm very upset my good friend died friday night. Sorry if this post is very irrelevant, I'm just really upset.

He died doing a wheelie, and this other kid I rode with earlier last week pulled a wheelie, and they didn't see each others head lights, crashed into each other doing 70mph or so. This happened on a dead end road which was very secluded. We got a call from my friend crying and shouting, and we hurried over there, and when we got there, there were like 10-15 cops/ambulances/firetrucks. And I was watching them trying to revive my friend, and no one knew his parents phone number, so I had to ride back to his house fast with my friend to get his parents. It's hard telling his parents his son got in an accident. Anyway, I hope everyone's being safe. Here's pics I got of him few weeks ago when we were hanging out.






So, R.I.P. Mikey 4/20/2007.

The weather's getting real nice in NY, so I hope everyone's starting off the season real safe.

Thanks guys. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight. He was such a good hearted kid too, always funny, very open to anyone new. And he definately knew how to rip up the twisties, he could almost touch his elbows if he wanted. It's going to be rough riding without him this season...

I'm so sorry for your loss! As someone who is trying to get a bike now, and learn to ride it from scratch, stories like these will hopefully keep me grounded and aware of the dangers you face when on a sport bike.

That's truly awful. I hate to hear things like that. It makes me think about what my parents, family ,and fiance would be going through if something happened to me on one of my bikes.

sorry to hear that man i know all the well what its like to lose a friend. it just scares the crap outta me due to i could have died last year doing a wheelie luckily i lived but i see too many people die due to stunting in non safe environments that bike on one wheel isnt worth your one life.keep it safe people. Again i feel for you bro ill pray for his family and friends God Rest His Soul.

Sorry to hear about your loss of a friend. You may not be able to sleep for the next few nights. Sometimes the best way to heal is to talk to friends and family about your pain. I will keep you and everyone else effected by this incident in my thoughts.
