I couldn’t say it better, Tim. Regardless of what caused tonight, these two guys were genuinely nice people, always put a laugh on your face. Shit… ---

I just felt they thought they were invincible, nothing could phase them. Jose was a very good rider, and it just goes to show, you can be the best rider out there but you can’t control what other people do. ---

Jose was a very good rider, and it just goes to show, you can be the best rider out there but you can’t control what other people do. Truth right there. RIP I knew Jose also. My prayers go out to both families. ---

There was a thread started on 716riders but it got deleted shortly after. It sucks that it takes things like these to remind us how life can change in a matter of seconds. The day I sold my bike was the best feeling in the world. This could have been me…RIP and be safe guys. It’s just not worth it. ---

↑ I WILL NOT get a bike, every year this happens. my buddy Johnny just crashed on the Delaware turns a few weeks ago it was on the news, hes still in bad shape. Not worth it. Sure they are fun but i would rather wake up every day. Sorry for the loss people. ---

RIP JOSE!!! You were an amazing person and always put a smile on my face. You are one of my greatest friends and will never forget you. I don’t even know what to say right now. RIP to the others also. This is so crazy because my other good friend’s anniversary of his death is coming up the 19th and it was a motorcycle accident. I drove by it going towards Colvin after hockey and saw the scene. I’m still shaking… ---
