These stories make my stomach hurt. :(. This is my old stomping grounds. Use to live in L.A, and Long Beach.
Glad to see the little boy is OK
Always sucks to hear.
why does everyone move to the cold
Better not read the news then. There were over 5200 motorcycle deaths in the US in 2008. (I haven’t seen any 2009 stats yet.) AKA over 14 per day, aka what the fuck is the point of this thread?
And do you really, honestly, truthfully, have any reaction at all to reading a small totally impersonal story about someone you don’t know who died 1000 miles away?
Maybe you do in this specific instance since you say you are from there, but fuck. If you’re that insecure with the risks stop riding.
at 14 a day… i lol… because yea… it sucks, and yea its sad, but more people die crossing the street, smoking cigarettes, swimming, etc etc than this…
its sad, just be safe…
I want to see the statistic on how many of these fatalities were avoidable by the rider… or how many of the riders were age 21-40… or how may people took the msf… ran a trackday… regularly practice emergency stopping… swerving… etc…
or how many had MIRRORS on their bikes.
oh yea… RIP 
^ Its never the bikers fault :shrug:
Yeah so much of the risk can be minimized by just not riding when you shouldn’t be. Bad weather, tired, in traffic/commuting when your head’s not in the game, stupid, you definitely shouldn’t ride when stupid…
What if you high-side into a pond full of alligators with nobody else around?
I though this was a local story. If you’re riding in buffalo in feb you’re pretty much asking for it …
fuck that shit jam…
Fry,
Please stop breathing immediatly. There are plenty of oxygen thieves in the world.
Thanks.
^ wat?
I would stop breathing but I wouldn’t want to make your stomach hurt.
Now excuse me while I go make a thread about the sun having come up this morning.
I hope that you realize how much smarter Fry is than you. I would place him top 5 on this board.
Oh, and he produces oxygen for a living so I bet that he is cool to breathe it.
There are lots of people with book smarts, that don’t have any common sense, and are useless.
:lol: I love you too Mike!
Are you referring to you or me? Because I’m not the one pretending to be concerned that something that happens thousands of times each year and has no impact on any of our lives happened. :cjerk:
If you are so smart, why did you start a sentence with “Because?”
Because I have more street smarts than book smarts apparently.
