Last weekend we had a pretty tragic accident out in the hill country down here in San Antonio. I just learned of this today, but two very experienced riders hit head on and were both killed instantly. I knew one of the riders, not very well, but enough to really hit home. This just goes to show you never know, and I just want it to be a reminder of the unexpected things that can happen on the street. Be safe and keep it shiny side up gentlemen.

Wow thats scarey and unfortunate. The guy said it perfect in the report, If you wanna race go to the track. RIP and be safe out there guys.

 

Thats a sad and ****ty deal right there..if they were both wearing helmets..they were obviously not going the "25mph posted speedlimit" ..from what i gathered they both died very quickly after the accident had occured..atleast one of them was overdriving the road conditons and outside of thier riding lmits and took out another rider with him along the way..there is a video where this same thing happened..ill find the link in a minute..RIP..ride inside of your limits guys.

 

/\/\ yeah, nobody does the posted 25 out there.

Thats a mistake that could have been prevented

 

I think I have seen that one before, but yep, just like that. I've been pretty upset about it, makes me not want to ride out there anymore.

 

well we have a very awesome 230 mile long canyon about 10 miles away from me..its 20-50 mph through out it..but were always slingin through it around 100mph...but i always stay in my own lane..mostly since i watched that video last riding season..but since i wrecked ive been driving like a noob again...i wont even go on the interstate for more thn 10 miles..oh well, whatever keeps me here to ride another day i guess...good luck dealing with this rrasco..dont let it scare you for to long.

 

Its not me I'm worried about staying in my lane. I'm not scared off the wheels, just the road. Thanks.

 

definatly understanable..first thing i did when i got my bike back was took the road that got me last time..been on it about 20 times since..just really get nervous coming to that corner..almost have to stop and push my bike around it...

 

I have a few corners I have *slipped* in before which makes me take them probably too cautiously, but with good reason.
