walther_gsp Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Don't know him, but he was riding with a group that included my dad and a couple of my relatives yesterday. He went the wrong way after they left some stop and was trying to catch up. Too close to home for me.http://www.ohio.com/news/break_news/10312637.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walther_gsp Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 From what my dad said tonight, it could have been the alcohol, but was more likely recklessness with the throttle hand. This happened right after my family split off from the group after their lunch stop (some bar that is known for its fried bologna). I guess the guy leading the pack was riding way too fast all day, and this guy was trying to catch up by riding even more carelessly.Shitty situation regardless and way too close to home for me.

ironbuttwannabe Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I've road that road a couple times. It's not too far away. I feel real bad about the death. The guy that was leading hopefully feels bad. Thats why I hate riding in bigger groups and not knowing how each person rides. Sometimes a helmet can't even save you.
