    Default Another Biker ( croch rocket ) died last night.

    I was at work tonight when a few drivers came in off the road saying there was a fatality on 285. A few of the drivers said 2 bikes passed them doing wheelies and a very high rate of speed. A little ways up, one of them lost control and was pretty much scattered all over the road. It's like this every summer....

    Then don't do wheelies especially with traffic, it's retarded as it is and doesn't impress anyone. Sad...but easily preventable.

    I know the guy. I don't know about the stunting thing but, it sucks that it happened, just wish that people would get the idea that stunting and driving in traffic don't mix. If you want to stunt, there are plenty of empty parking lots and deserted roads.

    I will say this tho. The majority of people that drive cars/trucks DO NOT pay attention too or notice motorcycles. Whether they are just riding or not. But like the above posted. I feel for his family. I almost lost my closest friend due to a driver running a red light and slamming into him on his.

    There is a difference between the rider acting stupid and trafic, and somebody not paying attention. And I have to say, 9 times out of 10, when Im going down the highway and I get passed by a bike, they are doing 30mph+ faster than the flow of trafic, and are weaving in and out of lanes.

    Lol I know that and I agree with you. I ride and I know how I act some times. Not always the smartest, but I try to keep the "fun" out of traffic. I tend to only try and do stuff on back roads, empty parking lots, and shit.

    HOLY FUCKING TRUE!!!!

    I hate, with a passion, the fucking stupid "LOOK TWICE, SAVE A LIFE" bullshit. Motorcyclists want to cry foul when one goes down and then turn around and "stunt" down the interstate as if they were in an open field with no one around. What does that mean? We have to watch out for bikers going 130 mph on one wheel?

    Not me. Later, QD.

    im sorry, but like almost everyone else in this thread i don't pity and biker that want's to play around and stunt on the streets, act like he's the "hot shit" and go on and kill himself. if you wanna put yourself at risk that"s on you, but don't bring it on the open roads where you put others at risk for your stupidity. i admit im not Mr. Legal. but i do know when and where to quit, and i dont care to act like an idiot just to impress anyone.

    Darwin always catches up to the idiots and all I will say is that at least no one innocent got hurt or killed. I feel especially sorry for the family because they know he died because he was being a moron and that will be the last memory they have of him.

    Some of the comments in this thread are sad. Some gets killed on a bike, and it must of been his fault and there is no sympathy (it's Darwinism). Someone gets ejected from a car because they don't wear a seatbelt, and were acting stupid on a public road. Then everyone is saying prayers.

    I read the other thread and never saw a mention of the cause of the accident. I always feel bad for innocent bystanders and the family if they are hurt, but if someone is acting like an idiot and gets himself fucked up or killed in an accident, I will always say the same things. They got what they deserved for being an idiot when they knew better.

    In this case, it was reported that he was, in fact, being an idiot, so you saw my comments.

    We all make mistakes....but its more common to see a biker hauling ass weaving in and out of traffic than hearing a storing of some not wearing their seat belt because it was altered. Lately I think there is at least one biker getting killed each week for like a month now......

    IA censorship at its finest. I saw that he is going to be alright and I'm glad to hear that. If he was being an idiot, I hope he learned his lesson, if he wasnt an idiot, I hope whoever caused it learns his/her lesson. My point is still the same, if you are going to act the fool on the roads, do it somewhere you will only kill yourself, not someone else just trying to get home to their friends and family.

    OMG! I so would love to piss on the fags in this thread because of this simple reason.

    #1 we really don't no if he was doing wheelies and acting a fool.
    #2 every thing is 2nd hand that has come from this thread so no 1 was there.
    #3 just the fact that u guy's think ppl should die for riding wheelies on the hwy is just plane out insane and stupid.because i am sure most of u answer the phone while your driving your car and that puts lives in danger.what about ur life outside a bike.



    I am thinking about when i got arrested last yr at this time for doing some stuff i did not do.Now the witnesses said i ran them off the road and into the ditch,race,wheelies etc But they where able to follow me through almost 3 county's with being ran off the road.Does that make since?I am sure if i was racing and riding wheelies after running them off the road they would have not been able to keep up through traffic with me to report me.So i will say LIES! NOw my point is,If i would of got killed by some odd reason on the bike freak accident the same day instead of getting arrested,And some 1 posted the story on here u guy's would be doing the same BS! talk that u are doing now.But i would not be here to tell u its all lies.Now would that be fair to me or my family?


    I have to say i am torn by the great deal of trouble these ppl who called me in are going through to get my licensed taken away and more jail time.But with that being said they lied on me.And got me over 3k in the hole for some he said she said bs! And traffic was so crazy that day i could have died and all u guy's would of been here hearing 2nd hand bs and walking over my dead body what a jk halve u sick basterds are.LAy the man to rest because no 1 knoes the truth unless u where there and i take not 1 of you was.

    rotfl. and stay-up, noone directly said we wanted them to die. we merely said that if someone is out trying to be cool then they should know that they are purposely putting themselves at risk and as a by-product everyone else around them. and that my friend is why we think things like this are idiotic and ppl need to realize the impact of what they are doing. if there too ignorant to see that....then they need to have someone smack um in the face.
