at first this made me feel bad. That a fellow rider was killed in my area, so young.
But after i watched the video, i looked at the bike. yellow gsxr with gold rims. something was odd. then it hit me. I have a buddy who i met this summer with the same bike. Now i am really scared that he could be dead.
please be safe while riding .

Sad to hear another roder has taken the "night ride"
But you have to ask the question - if the bike went 20 ft in the air, and the pillion was thrown 115 feet, how fast was he going ?
Sad, very sad.......
RIP

Seems to me that the car pulled out in front of the bike, but it does seem that the bike was going kinda fast for that road. It's always going to be the bikeers fault in a case like this. When my buddy died in a bike crash 4 years ago the storys were comming out of the wood work as to why he crashed and none were true except for the story the guys told that were there riding with him.
RIP to the rider and I hope the girl is ok. Man too many wrecks this year already and summer has not even started yet.

One more time, everybody be careful, and make good decisions, especially in a busy road like that one, I got there 10 min after the accident happened and was really sad to see him laying there, the girl who was going with him still alive. So everybody drive save and Have fun with your bikes, always remember that we need to be alive to enjoy it!!
