I used to drive all around there. Had a gf that lived over there in HS, and a whole lot of my hs friends lived over there (went to St. Thomas, so I didn't live near everybody I went to school with)

There has been a lot of stuff going on this past week starting on Sunday, we had another rider out going to hot in a turn and hit another on comming bike killed both them instantly, Lidya the girl on the back of one of the bikes is in the hospital, very luck to be alive. Just in the past week I know of approx 12 deads related to bikes. So please if you ride be CAREFUL and SLOW down.

Jet, link isn't complete.
Crotchrockets are only death traps depending on who is riding them. I see so many assclowns on those bikes weaving in/out of traffic and cutting people off, it really pisses me off as a fellow rider. I don't know why guys feel so invincible on 2 wheels.
Sorry to hear about another loss like this.

Yep here is the link to a thread on another board about him, his myspace link is in the pages of that thread. Even a guy that was with him talks about what happened and that he ran into his bike when he went down.

DAMN what a shame...Reminds me of a young guy I knew, Josh, from I believe Pasadena that met the same fate. Ran into the back of an 18 wheeler at a very high rate of speed on the feeder road of Hwy 225 in Deer Park area. 
Owning 2 bikes and riding for over 34 years I know first hand what it takes to stay alive on these things...I've been lucky twice! I hope everyone that owns a bike takes the proper precautions when riding in traffic with a bunch of friends...we're not invincible.

damn RIP to him and my thoughts to his family....
my cousin ashley got killed when she was a passenger 2 yrs ago.
riding with some foreign exchange student and ran from the cops for some reason.
i saw her in the hospital on life support,it was pretty bad seeing somebody in that condition you know, and cant recognize them.

The same thing just happened on Sunday, Rodger "koskesh" sp? off motohouston.com was going to hot in a corner out on racer road. Another bike comming the other directions was hit by him. The other rider was 2 up, the only surviver was the girl passenger. There was another guy from Stubbs motorcycles on a busa, didn't realize the power and it killed him yesterday. I am sure I can go on, but wont. This has been one hell of a week, at min 10 bikers dead since last sunday. I have not ridden since sunday, but did today to work. Been very numb to riding after what all has happend. I almost did the same thing that Rodger did on Sunday, just swung to wide and wasn't riding my ride, was following another bike and he went wide. So this all hits home with me, please be safe out there if you have a bike. Ride your own pace and the street is not a race course. Take it to the track if you want to haul ***.

I talked to Brians friends and roomates. His roomate was very upset. Punched holes in their walls when he found out. I talked to my other neibor that just got a new bike. He is good friends with the other guy that fell when brians bike exploded when it hit the rig. From what he said, they were doin about 130 weavin in and out of traffic, Brian wasnt payin attetion and hit the back of the rig at @130. The rig was doin around 70 from what they said. His bike exploded right when it hit and he got hooked onto the back of it...the rest is well... The other guy injured was the one that hit the debris from Brians bike. He laid his bike down but was ok. Services for Brian are this Sunday in the woodlands at 6. His mom is extremely shaken up, his dad is taken it very hard as well. Brian had only been riding for about a year and damn he was ****** nuts on that bike. He had just wrecked about a month ago but got another bike. He was only 20

Yep heard he was crazy on a bike. Just have to learn not to do 130mph with all the traffic on the road now days. I am just as guilty of speeding, but as for weaving in and out of traffic, no freakin way. He was said to be on the way to PP1..
RIP

Its the second time in the past 6 months someone I was friends with lost their life on their bike.

RIP....Im a fellow rider.....the second you disrespect the machine it will disrespect you right back, the only problem is it hurts when the machine disrepects you.
Cold reminder of the dangers I face everytime I climb on my bike.
Again RIP and prayers for the family.

When you disrespect the bike, is when it disrespects you back.I think of this everytime before I go ride.
