Ron505 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 .....right down the road from my place. Thoughts and prayers go out to the families. http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2014/05/23/Motorcyclist-killed-in-crash.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calinazaret Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Why, why, why would you not wear a helmet? I'm sorry this happened. I'm sorry every time this happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccrory Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Dammit. Westerville resident probably going fast on his sport bike to impress his passenger, only to go wide on a turn with oncoming traffic. Neither wearing helmets (nor probably any other protective gear). Now he's dead and she's in an out-of-town hospital with bad enough injuries to warrant a helicopter extraction. He must have been really hauling ass to miss this gentle curve: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Sugar+Grove+Rd+SE+%26+Hickory+Hill+Dr+SE/@39.6584125,-82.5531526,12z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x8847f357afeaeedf:0x6dfff331a666b10d Damned shame. Be careful out there kids, and don't try to impress anyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron505 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I live right down the road, and there have been many motorcycle accidents on this curve. If you haven't ridin it before, it can be very deceiving. I grew up about 1/2 mile north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't ridin it before, it can be very deceiving. I grew up about 1/2 mile north. That's interesting and I guess the 2D shot doesn't really indicate it. Is it because it's an S curve, or that's it's blind, or both? Even still, that guy must have been moving - I still can't see how it's a technical curve compared to so many others I've ridden. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Sugar+Grove+Rd+SE+%26+Hickory+Hill+Dr+SE/@39.6576423,-82.5531208,859m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x8847f357afeaeedf:0x6dfff331a666b10d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron505 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I wouldn't call it technical for an experienced rider, but it is somewhat blind, there are tar strips, and even light gravel at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
