    Default GOD is trying to tell me something!!!

    5-08-10 @1am RIP


    Most of you read about my best friend BIG RED AKA BIG MIKE Threads....
    http://www.zx-10r.net/forum/showthread.php?t=87390


    Well me and my brother was riding on I-285 East bound in Atlanta,GA heading home after riding that night and about 11pm We rode over to see MIKE (bigred) crash site to say prayers and what not.After riding on that rode with MIKE (Bigred) and talking and chatting there it is now around 12am.So the 3 of us riding was about to go home, 1 guy with us went on with out me and my brother.20mins later it is around 1220ish so me and my brother started to head back home , on I-285 to get to 675 south , I was in the left lane and he was in the middle lane due when its so dark out and at this time you tend to see a lot of deers.So we stagger and he was about 50-75 yards or so , I am bad about distance measured and NO traffic one car was near him but I was not gaining on either of them and the car and him was not either pulling on each other , like they was riding near each other. I was riding around 65 mph and I assure my brother was too as we don't ride that fast this late .

    some how either My brother went behind the car or the car went in front of my brother not to sure if either cut or hit each other yet but my brothers bike went out of control,sparks and all kinds of shit, I was freaking out and was trying to make sure I didnt run him over , I swerved out of the way and braking at this point, and his bike
    http://www.zx-10r.net/forum/showthread.php?t=87332

    Blew into flames right beside me in mid air dont know how I didnt get hit or something I ran off , at this point that car didnt stop , I was trying to call 911 and waving in front for the cars and running to find my brother as it was so freaking dark It was hard. I found him and I was running and using my body which my gear reflects light and my cell hoping cars will see me and move the hell out of the way.Most cars coming moved out of the way but this one that was riding in the fast lane,The lane I was in was coming at a high rate of speed and I stood waving and shit I ran to try an pull him out of the rode but the car was not stopping, they hit their bright lights and my body lit up all white and I had to decide that second if it was going to be me and him that got ran over or jump, I had no other option I had to move .That car ran him over and never NEVER STOPPED!!!!

    My brother was dead it shattterd his helmet and it was the worest thing I have ever saw in my life.My wife is a nurse I seen some crazy pics before and vids.But this is by far the worest shit ever . I felt so helpless and alone as no one was stopping. I heard another crash or something metal to metal and a 4 door Nissan Frontier dark color stopped backed up for a split second and then stopped and then 6 black guys jumped out walk to me ask if everyone is ok, I stated NO my brother is dead and someone ran him over and did NOT stop.They got back into the truck and LEFT!!!!!

    1 guy did stop and hugged me and stayed the whole time!!!!

    My friends and family came and drove me home and hauled my bike.My brothers bike and some car parts are at the police impound to be fully investigated . ALL car parts have OEM numbers that can be traced down even back to 1965 and to all who owned it .I hope they can find those that left and justice be found.That was heartless , accident or not you do not leave!!!!!
    They knew they hit a a person hell they even hit the bright lights at me and saw my big ass I am 6'3 240lbs ......I just wished I could have saved him !!!!!

    RIP MY BROTHER I WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU!!!!!!!!

    His name Jonathan Vaughn

    I will never own a bike!!!!!!! I am selling it Monday to someone that wanted to buy it for a min now so I will let them have it!!!!


    Yall please be safe !!!!!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!

    It's a hard time , before I had 3 guys I rode with all the time.Mike,Bill,Jonathan.Bill killed himself about year ago due to he had cancer and was about to die and had other problems so he couldn't take it.And then Mike, and now my brother!!!!

    I feel like I am drowning!

    I have everyone you can think of call me but I can not talk it is hard! I send text easier then actually talking so I been doing that , but it is soooooo hard to deal with this.I have seen final destination and all the other ones and I feel like something is chasing me , that is my reason for giving up riding for good.

    PLEASE the ones that choose to ride still please be safe and tell everyone you love everyday you love them, because anything can happen.Have your ducks in a row and ready so if something happens you have it lined up .I wished I was able to tell him I loved him before this happen But I know he knows I do, hell I spent days and nights with him so much it was like we was married!

    Fox5 news was there and they stated in the news that the driver might have not known they hit him...Yeah right I was in the road waving for them not to and they hit the bright lights that is a sign they saw something.And my body lit up so white with the lights and I had to move out of the way!

    The POS people in the news pisses me off sometimes they don't get the facts straight before airing on tv.

    Good, It's just not worth it man. Some of us were lucky enough to make it through. Some didn't. I try and tell all the young guys to walk away from it every chance I get. There is nothing more scary then seeing a group of them blazing down the highway, knowing that at least one of them will be dead in a month.

    Perhaps you should pick up a Bible, Qu'ran, Torah, Vedas, Avesta, Siri Guru Granth Sahib, or Book of Mormon (whatever you believe in) and read it.










    Because you need a snorkel brother.

    Damn Josh, you have some terrible luck. Just last year you caught H1N1 and nearly lost your life. They were praying that they didn't have to bury you. I hate to hear that you have to bury your brother. I remember meeting him. He was a nice guy. I send my condolences to you and your family.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    Im sorry to hear this man, This is the main reason I stick to 4 wheels, Its far to easy for a dumbass driver to just tap you with their car in order to do some serious damage. I dont know you, But Im sorry to hear what you had to go through. Good luck getting through it man, and do us all a favor, Get a car.

    im sorry to hear about the accident, you'll be in my prayers
    most of use have lost someone close before. at age nine, i lost my very close uncle at our local lake ( fort yargo), drown because of his legs cramped up while retrieving a volley ball that flew into the water. havnt gone swimming there since. just last month, almost lost my girlfriend, on the way back from the mall, her mother blacked out and smack a telephone pole into 3 piece, fliped the van upside down. ever since, i've havnt speed or drive stupidly


    sometime, you just have to let it go and remember them for the great things they did.

    No updates as of yet but the detectives told me they will be calling me soon.

    In the VID of RIP MIKE Jonathan and bill is in that VID Bill was in that group during the day at a parking lot (QT) he was wearing a red tee and it super skinny and tall...Mike of course he was the big guy , and Jonathan was in there also He was in that same parking lot to the right of the screen in a black tee putting on a book bag and riding the yellow black honda f4.This was before he got the RC51.I could not really sleep last night either its just a toss and turn for me.Again thank you all !!!!!



    Chris SLOSTANG Yes that was him.......Most all that hanged out with us on the southside have met him or seen his car or even seen him racing that Tib. He was the guy that revs to 10000 rpms and dumps the clutch and wonder why he never got traction ....Fun and crazy times we had, and thought those might been the times for a bad wreck or something but no on a rode with no traffic and no one around man!!!!!
