Andrew Trevitt Update?

[Porkchop]

I don't know how I fucking missed this??? It might be old news, but this is another example of irrisponsible cagers that should be drug off the side of the road and shot.

"Sport Rider Magazine Senior Editor and former AMA 250cc Grand Prix racer Andrew Trevitt was seriously injured in a street crash while testing tires on Angeles Crest Highway in Southern California Monday.

The crash happened when a car made an illegal U-turn in front of Trevitt.

Trevitt was transported by helicopter to Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena with facial fractures, damage to his T3 and T4 vertebrae and a possible broken pelvis.

Trevitt currently does not have feeling in his legs. His prognosis is unknown."

Does anyone have any updates? SportRider ran an article this month saying he has unknown months of rehabilitation ahead....

[Mr Lefty]

wow.. hope he makes it through! dude's articles are pretty good.

I think this happened a month ago....

My aunt and uncle went down the other day when a cager cut over three lanes to make a right hand turn from the left hand lane. Aunt had some bumps and bruises, uncle had some road rash through jeans and whatnot... both are gonna be fine. Fuckin' retarded cagers.

Quoted for truth.

My uncle rides a HD Electra Glide Standard... Not like they were riding something small and easy to miss.

I just talked to my sister before work... my old MSF instructor who rides a NEON Yellow(that greenish yellow) Gold wing... and has matching helmet and jacket... was hit when a lady pulled out infront of him. broke his legs...

They never do...

I still think every person that gets a DL should have to go through the MSF.

When you don't bother to look, you never see.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... The first license that should be issued to ANYONE is a motorcycle permit... mandatory 250cc for the first two years of being licensed. I think would improve driver skill and motorcycle awareness by leaps and bounds.

Well, truth be told... even sometimes when you look, you don't see. It's happened to me before, but the difference is I was paying attention so I was able to not fucking run anyone down.

I've lost count of the number of times that I've been right along side a driver's window and he hasn't bothered to look beside him, before almost driving me into a guardrail. While I agree that sometimes you can look and still not see, far too many people no longer even bother to look.

Again though... I think the fact that I look is driven a lot by my motorcycle experience... I've put a boot into a couple inattentive driver's doors...

very true... I see motorcycles everywhere because I look for them...

I started thinking about something about a year ago... when I noticed that there were far more motorcycles on the road than I thought... I started to wonder if the motorcycle traffic had really increased... or (more likely) I was only seeing them because I was looking for them. kinda bugs me because i wonder if I ever was that moron who cut off a bike... I don't think I ever was... but no way to know for sure :idk:

I posted that story not too long ago, when i was driving behind my friend in my cage and the fucking woman almost ran into him twice without knowing. Once she almost pushed him into a concrete dividor before he slammed on her driver side window to get her attention. She had the audacity to roll down her window and flick HIM off..... I dont use this word often, but what a cunt.

Yeah this was a few months back...He was "testing tires" meaning he was prolly haulin ass up in the Crest. lol Nontheless, people make illegal U-turns on the mountains all the time instead of using the turnouts.

Does anyone have an update on the boy?

That happened to me a few years ago. I kicked his door - he swerved back into his lane with his lumbering black SUV. We got to the light ahead, he stopped next to me rather than pulling up the few car spaces in front of him. He was crying - and yelled out the window an apology and the fact that he was a rider too... and didn't see me.

UGH.

Confession: I have NOT seen a motorcycle and ALMOST pulled out in front of him. The road I live on dumps out onto a busy 4 laner. There is a slight right hand curve just before my street. The motorcycle was silver, rider was wearing silver and black, road looked silver (in the setting sun). The only difference between me and that guy we all rail against is that I thought I might have seen a glimmer of something on the road, waited a second, realized it was a headlight, shoved my heart back down in my throat and continued on my merry way, AFTER the bike passed my road.

That still scares me.

Get well soon Andy T! Lets be careful out there.
