Default Be careful on those bikes!

Please guys wear your gear!

I just lost another freind last night. I don't know the whole story, but if I know him he didn't have a bucket on. He was a great guy, he's the brother of the guy who built my motor. I hung out with him more then my girfriend in the last 2 months I was in NM. He was always at the shop while I was there wrenching. Truly one of the good guys.

That makes 2 freinds that have died this year on bikes. Plus I had my wreck. Be careful out there.

My condolences go out to you and his family and friends.

My brother had gone done on his GSXR-1100 a few years back and fortunately he had on good riding gear, but he still had to be medi-vac'd out due to his helmet getting split. We were all real scared but fortunately he only needed shoulder surgery and made a complete recovery.

Too many stupid people on the roads these days. Be careful guys.

ive heard way to many stories about people being hurt or killed on bikes to ever consider getting involved with one. im sure theyre fun but even experienced riders can have accidents.

be careful for those who have bikes out there.
