RIP

 

Damn, another one to add to the helmet advertisement.

Honestly, I dont feel comfortable riding a crotch rocket without a helmet. I have ****ed around doin slow wheelies and **** on dirtbikes on soft dirt and grass without a helmet, but even on like pocketrockets i mash a helmet, no matter what or how good you are, everyone falls sometimes. Like have you ever tripped while not paying attention walking, I know I have. Bikes aren't forgiving.

Either way sorry to hear that man, worst month for me was like 2 or 3 years ago, 3 funerals in 4 weeks.

helmets fellas, if you wanna keep riding, or just living

 

My deepest sympathies. That is a terrible loss..

 

I appreciate all of you helping me through this difficult time. I have never experienced anything like that before. The paramedics said that by me stopping the bleeding i probably kept him alive long enough to stay on life support before his parents pulled the plug. I am thankful because i know i tried my best to help him. I have a whole new respect for riding now. I want to let everyone know that if he had a helmet on he probably would still be here riding with me today. He was supposed to get married next year to his girlfriend chantel and had recently started his own online company called distintinmports.com. His company was based around selling aftermarket and performance parts for sport bikes. He was a die hard motorcycle fan and he died doing what he loved. He will be remembered... We have started a memorial and charity fund for his family and fiance. The plan is to raise enough money to rebuild and customize his bike the way he wanted it and to either auction it and donate the proceeds to his family. I am new to this site and i see alot of nice people on here so look forward to future conversations. Thanks Nick Olson

 

Condolences, May he rest in peace, sorry for your loss.....

 

my deepest sympathies. i would like to let everyone out there know about a website called remembertheriders.com i don't know if y'all know about it or not but i think that it is a very good reminder of the simple fact that motorcycles are everywhere and that these people on four wheels need to be on the lookout for us cause we have just as much a right to the road as they do. the website also has an option where you imput your zip code and your email addresss and they will send you a newsletter once every week and let you know how many riders lost their lives that week. just recently in jax, fl. a 28 yr. old man and an 8 year old boy were tragically killed in an incident. when i read that my heart dropped to my stomach and i thought i was going to be sick. I would like to thank eveyone for taking the time to read this and hopefully if there are some people out there that are reading this and drive a car/truck/van etc. they will realize that we are out there and they need to open their eyes a little more and be more attentive while driving.
