RIP. Stupid choices that people make and regret if given the chance. Unfortunately they were not able to regret it and paid the price. Hold the hate comments on these guys. I didnt know them but again, show some class and respect to others that did. ---

I was prepared for road work, back 1/2 mile when I saw the sign. I did not expect the gravel to be all over the road when we entered a blind corner. I have video and photos to prove it. By law it should have been maintained or else marked as a hazard. We weren’t speeding, messing around or anything…this was caused purely in part of negligence on NYS DOT’s part. 240 is a state road, so Colden is off the hook. The highway superintendent is acting as a liason for me in contacting the proper people. Been around the block enough to know how to read roads, I’m not saying I’m perfect but it’s hard to argue I was at fault when there is so much shit on the road you can run and slide from lane to lane with shoes on. ---

Is it any coincidence that 97.9% of accidents that involve motorcycles are a direct result of said motorcyclist doing something stupid and/or wreckless? I don’t understand why a grown man with probably nothing to hide would run from the cops. I guess this is just nature’s way. With that said, condolences to the family. ---

Considering that corner is strewn with motorcycle parts and flowers of riders that died, yes. I think Kris and I did a pretty damn good job not dying. That’s not something you learn in a class. ---

That’s not something you learn in a class. after hearing about you going down it made me think back when I was blasting 240 on my '75 honda pretty hard back in july when my buddy was up here from ohio…I’m lucky the road was nice or I might not be here.
