Casper Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 What do you guys/gals think about having a day of silence for our fellow fallen riders? On this day, the forum will be down completely, with only pictures of our lost friends and brief descriptions of what happened to them. I'm thinking March 17th. This is the day Kenny was killed on his motorcycle. It works because it's the beginning of the riding season. I think this could be a great reminder for everyone to be careful out there, to mourn the loss of our fallen friends, and celebrate their lives. I can make up a form where you can submit fallen riders to the list throughout the year, including any links to news articles, posts on here, pictures, etc. Does this sound good to everyone?

It would be neat to have the Fallen page accessable year round though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shittygsxr Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 March 17th, 2010 is on a Wednesday so I am not sure if I will be able to make it through the day but I guess I will do it for the greater good.If you ban JRMIII temporarily we can have a week of silence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsxr750girl Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I was thinking about that. I think so.I think it would be a good idea to keep it available throughout the year. It would give people the chance to go back and visit whenever they felt the need too! Just my opinion.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I think it's safe to YES is going to win since it's at 92.31%.I'll start working on a form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleCock Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Isn't there something we could do that would have a bigger impact than shutting down the .net for a day? Not saying it's a terrible idea but wouldn't a ride or something similar be a better way to remember a friend or brother/sister on 2 wheels? I voted no to turn off site for 1 day in hopes we can think of something better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I voted no to turn off site for 1 day in hopes we can think of something betterWe already do memorial rides for fallen riders. I think the site being down for a day will remind a whole lot of people (roughly 1000 - 1400 visit each day) to ride safe, watch out for crazy fuckers on cell phones, to wear gear, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
