Sawbinder Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I don't even know where to beging with this one. In just the last 8 months I've had the unfortunate job of standing by and watching a medic unit pronounce another motorcyclist DEAD. I was on scene at the Henderson Rd. fatal motorcycle accident and it was a gruesome site. I dont know his name or who he was only that according to a witness who he flew by that he was well into the triple digits in speed when he crashed. The bike was brand new with 30 day tags just picked up within the last week. The bike was obliterated. More details will come later as the investigation is still ongoing. I dont know what to say other than PLEASE SLOW THE FUCK DOWN AND WEAR A HELMET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm tired of seeing dead motorcycle riders especially young ones that cause the accidents!! That is my rant... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I agree with you 100%. Any time i see a biker down I always worry. I know I wear my armor as i prefer to call it but allot of people don't. Keep it safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 *cough cough* The more I sit here at riverside the more I think about how lucky I was.

Guest Hal Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I'm starting to worry about having just bought a bike. I can only hope if I ever go down (knock on wood) my gear keeps me safe. I can't understand why people don't wear helmets at the very least, I know mine is pretty comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

351mach11647545510 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I can't understand why people don't wear helmets at the very least, I know mine is pretty comfortable. I know whenever I didn't it was usually because it was hot out, especially if I was riding in town, but after all this I will definately think twice on any future rides.

I can only hope that when I go down (It'll happen eventually) my gear keeps me safe. I can't understand why people don't wear helmets at the very least, I know mine is pretty comfortable. There are two types of riders: 1. Those that have wrecked 2. Those that will Be safe, homie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Triple digits on Henderson.....death wish no matter what time of day/night. No helmet was going to save him. Perhaps his buddies who have bikes will think about him should they be in that same mood. Crazy stuff for sure. I bet your dreams at night are pretty freaky.

stevethepirate Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 yeah, i dropped a bike 3 years ago... i was wearing shorts, a t-shirt, loose shoes with no socks.... and a nice expensive helmet. got terrible road rash on both of my arms, my hip, both of my legs, and both of my feet. but when i stood up, i realized that there was asphalt embedded in the visor of my helmet. now when i see people without helmets, i just cant understand it.

cNeutron Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Accidents do happen my dad died last year in a motorcycle wreck. He had his helmet on and was going the speed limit. His side bag hit a patch of asphalt on a turn and the bike flipped and he fell into a guard rail. You are so much more exposed when you are on a bike its scary. I still want to get one but makes you think. Especially whensomething hits so close to home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Whatever your stance is on Helmets and gear, you don't need to drive 100mph to prove how stupid you are. Slow down, for your sake and my families' sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linc5.0 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 im not condoning riding fast...but these bikes do 100+ in first gear and under 3-4 seconds....so its not hard to hit those speeds easily...No one rides that way to be stupid...they ride that way cuz that is what those bikes are made to do....And no I am not saying that they should be riden that way on the street. I am just stating facts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
