Another Rider down

:eek3 That sucked…wow…

sad week for sure… can happen to anyone though, never really know 100% what causes most accidents.

I guess my boss knew the guy who crashed into the boat. He was a Hannaford store manager. This was his first year riding, the 2012 Triumph being his first bike.

jeez

Ouch…:cry:

Another one dead from the same area…

uh… guys, JSE has a Triumph…

edit: sorry, read it again. not JSE. still, RIP.

Fayville’s a fun road. Crap.

I found a Favyville Creek by Fish House Rd, but where is Fayville Rd?

Sad to hear :frowning:

Fayville Rd runs from Barkerville to South Shore Lake Rd by Sacandaga Lake.
Just search Fayville rd, Barkersville, NY

Good road but I have found that you gotta watch out for dirt and gravel… let’s just say I almost found out the hard way

Almost seems like it’s a road to avoid instead of look for.

Plenty of other good options in upstate.

That blows. The more I read about these accidents, the less “fooling around” on a bike I’ll be doing. I dont wheelie or “stunt” at all, but even riding the twisties just doesnt seem to have the same appeal anymore. I really think I’ll be looking to take the bike to a track day if I want to mess around.

I actually road around the lake today… up South Shore and back on North Shore from Hadley then hit the Fayville Rd on the way back home.

I wasn’t going all out as normal today since there were so many of the weekenders at there camps and all over the roads.

Like someone else said in a post earlier its a fun road but you gotta be cautious especially if your not familiar with the road…
I know a few corners that always have gravel near the edges so I always slow down to a safe speed.

Sully… totally agree with you about not going as hard n the twisties as I see so many accidents happen.
I’d just like to know the cause of some of the accidents…

I’m still here. Lol

Happened last night…

damn, I know that spot

jesus. falling off a cliff after all that.

RIP to the poor lady.

this is getting weird. that is another one of my favorite roads and I ride that section almost every weekend. its got some really nice high speed turns.

strange how people keep dying on my favorite roads… maybe its a sign :ohnoes

kinda weird that she crashed there though. where the lookout is is pretty straight. very sad anyway though. RIP

I use to take Faville road to the lake 2-3 times a week. It was a great road 5-6 years ago. But as of lately, they’ve been doing a lot of construction. Still a fun road, but not what it use to be. Same with the lake. I just can’t get into it up there anymore. I hear about all these accidents. I just can’t push the limit anymore up there. Plus I have my fiancee on the back. Just not worth it anymore. At somepoint, we all start to grow up.

if you are not familiar with the road, there is 2 sets of left then right sharp corners. if you don’t know the road, or are not paying attention they come up pretty quick. yet another reason to BE SAFE. I don’t wanna read about/report on any of you!!!
