I think TheX hopes for the best of the fallen rider but is pissed/concerned that this was 100% preventable, and it happens all the time. Pointless.
Absolutely true, people need to be accountable for their riding.

i am not childish thank you i lost someone less then a month ago in a very bad accident. So dont tell me to grow up please. Yes he was in the fault for speeding but dont tell me that you dont speed on your bike?? That you never went that fast or faster?? Have you ever had to bury someone that you loved or cared about at the young age of 27?? I have so dont tell me to grow up!!

i hope your friend gets better and is able/willing to get back on a bike again. it was a bad situation that believe it or ot could've been worse. you and your friend played fast and reckless and he got caught. you werent controling his throttle , so to say that ou made him go that fast would be inaccurate yet @ the same time people with less experiece tend to follow those who they believe know what they are doing.

my prayers are with him and his family. may he make a speedy recover and i hope you are able to walk away from this situation with a lilbetter understand on how our actions have a direct effect on the others around us even when we have th ebest intentions in mind

what TheX is saying is it could have been prevented, yea we might speed, but I dont do 100+.....Im not pointing blame, I think that he was just trying to keep up, and couldnt.......just slow it down this season...we dont need anymore riders down!

I don't get the idea that because you have a sportbike you speed and all that stuff. How many times have I heard "what, and you don't speed?" Really, I don't. On normal everyday commutes and streets, I might push 5-8 over the limmit or so, but don't blast it just cause I'm on a bike. The only time I really push it is on the twisties out in BFE with one or two other riders, zero traffic and a guy riding sweep to make sure no-one gets left behind. I have a hard time believing that speeding and tearin it up is the norm or is expected cause you ride a sportbike.
