To Whom It May Concern,


Attached you will find a copy of My Son’s Yamaha Motor Credit account statement. Along with it is a copy of his Death Certificate. You may now consider his account paid in full.



Jason was the love of our life and now he is gone forever. He was killed on Friday night 12/30/05 while riding the wonderful death machine that he was able to purchase with the Credit you provided.



My lawyer has stated to me that as of now Jason doesn’t owe anyone anything anymore.



God I miss my son.

again, i am very sorry for your loss and i can't even begin to fathom what it's like.

at the same time i can't possibly imagine why you'd try so very hard to villify one of the many hobbies in the world that i love and have been a part of for years. in my years of riding i've seen/heard of many riders down and unfortunately a few that passed on as a result, but as david stated it's not the fault of the machine he was on. calling a bike a "death machine" is simply wrong; you might as well call cars, bicycles, boats, trucks, airplanes, helicopters and any other form of mobile transport "death machines" because people die in them as well.
