Two weeks ago, a long time fixture of the old KatanaPlanet/Katriders Forum (Cyberpoet) died while riding ( http://katriders.com/vb/showthread.php?t=102355 ) . Last week, the brother of a member of another forum died and last night, the son of a friend of mine (PPFOG, from Squidbusters, whom I have shared a number of his posts on this forum) died while riding ( http://www.squidbusters.com/sb/showthread.php?t=9626 )

I have been so busy the last few month's I haven't been on here or anywhere else and have ridden the least in many years, and yet lost so many folks I've known..................


You all be safe out there.............

CastorTroy here lost his best friend and we lost a member on my local board as well. I know there is a few others I am forgetting, but it's been a bad year for veteran riders. Stay safe out there man, good hearing from ya.

That was the guy in Chattanooga I believe, wasn't it? I remember hearing about that on the news. Some stupid kid got pissed off at his parents and went stood in the road.

One of the guys on my base lost both legs over the weekend, and he is still in critical condition. I was told that got sideswiped by a semi and his jacket got caught on the gas tank, his legs went under and he didn't.

I've been very fortunate that I haven't known anyone personally who has died in a MC crash. Sadly it's just a matter of time though before that happens.

Keep in there OTB.
