zeitgeist57 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 http://www.10tv.com/article/portions-olentangy-river-road-closed-near-osu-campus Lost a great guy today that became my friend over the past few years through CC&C. There was an impromptu cruise/gathering in Easton this past evening in his name...still shocking to have seen someone barely 12 hours ago and now he's gone. He left a lot of great friends, a fiancee, and many people who loved him. I post this up as a reminder to everyone - especially riders - to be careful out there. While you're at it, tell a friend/family member how much you love and appreciate them. Tough reminder how precious and fragile life is.

xlr8tn Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 sorry to hear that....hate hearing about these types of accidents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 This is the 3rd motorcycle accident this year involving someone I know (2nd death). To all the guys out there on 2 wheels, please be careful. And for everyone else, please look out for them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Was he at C&C saturday? Saw a few bikes there. News reads like a car turned in front of him? Charge them with manslaughter and throw em in jail RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGU Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Terrible to hear, I hate how the news has to state that this impacted buckeye game traffic. Hey how about respect the life of some one that just passed as football is not the most important thing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Rip Sadly every time I even by the smallest percent think about owning a bike I see stories like this pop up and it draws me back. It's so sad that at any age this happens to someone when (from best that I can tell from the story) he was doing everything just as he should and someone not paying attention causes Joe to be taken way to early.

BStowers023 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Awful to hear as a new motorcycle owner/rider. Makes me consider getting rid of it. You just can't trust idiot drivers out there. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky31186 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Holy cow I'm pretty sure I knew Joe. Name sounds familiar. So sad and One of the biggest reasons I no longer ride.. absolutely no one looks out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Very sorry to hear this. I didn't know him personally, but it's always sad to see a fellow Motorsports enthusiast taken from his family and friends.

zeitgeist57 Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Was he at C&C saturday? Saw a few bikes there. News reads like a car turned in front of him? Charge them with manslaughter and throw em in jail RIP Yes. He had a silver 'Busa with a red frame cage. He would just lay it on the frame cage when he parked it...always put a smile on my face when I saw it lying on its side. It's very sad as Joe enjoyed riding very much...yet this accident was more from someone else being careless and going faster than him. Physics just isn't in favor of the bike rider in a situation like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just can't trust idiot drivers out there. RIP I have been putting a car together with the intent to trade it for another bike, this definately has me reconsidering now.

Versluis Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 I saw him pull into cars and coffee this week. Very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledhead36 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 He lived out at my rental house, and he did all the yard work. Place always looked fantastic. Just talked to him on Thursday as I was going out of town. You never know when stuff like this will happen, definitely reminds you to not waste a day.

Franchi Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Yeah this one hit me hard. Was just walking around and hanging out with him at C and C yesterday and left about 15 mins before he did.... Just like Clay said "While you're at it, tell a friend/family member how much you love and appreciate them. Tough reminder how precious and fragile life is" Get so caught up in the day to day of life / activity sometimes that need to stop occasionally and just appreciate it. Tell your family you love em, SHOW them you love em, tackle that work project always needing more work later and take your kid to the park or something... That's what Im doing today.

RC K9 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Have wanted a bike since I was 15. Stories like this are why I have never bought one. Very sad. And fk them for mentioning the OSU game. I know that's practically blasphemy in columbus for me to say that, and IDGAF. Human lives>stupid game.

MrMeanGreen Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Rocky, we can set something up with Clay via CR and CC&C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Yes. He had a silver 'Busa with a red frame cage. He would just lay it on the frame cage when he parked it He was one of the last people to leave C&C, watched him go. Very easily could have been any of us.

I'm a diehard OSU fan and it really struck a chord with me they did that. Anyone who is upset about someone saying what you did is worse than 10tv.

zeitgeist57 Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Once I get word from guys about when services are expected, I'll share via CC&C's FB page. Please feel free to give as you see fit. I'd like to dedicate a CC&C Saturday coming up in Joe's honor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICKNESS22 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Sorry to hear and see something like this, i have spoken with Joe a few times and was definitely a car enthusiast. God Bless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Rip sorry to hear we lost another one. Ever since Kenny I've vowed to stay on four wheels only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
