Because of charges being filed and not knowing the legal system I am not gonna metion names or locations.
I lost a dear friend today over BS. He was riding (fully geared as usual) when some @#%$ squid jackass wheelied up next to him lost control and knocked him under another vehicle killing him instantly. He left behind a 6 month old daughter. I am done riding ! For all the fathers and mothers on this board keep this in mind. Just because you are safe and ride safe there is allways some young punk somewhere putting lives at risk. To me this bike aint worth leaving my family. If I wanted to get killed I would have stayed in the Marines.

I went today to identify the body and the family attorney told me told me they may only be able to get this other rider with involuntary Manslaughter. Can anyone tell me why this would not fall under a murder charge. From my understanding IM is a lesser crime.
"rumor" has it this guy was on a suspended DL for going 135 just 3 months ago.Thanks to a inside source, can this be used in sentencing.
And thanks to all for your caring thoughts.
I understand that you can't quit living due to unfortunate accidents, but I have to go outside and I have to drive to get to work. But I don't have to throw my leg over my bike and ride. I just feel doing this I am taking a chance of leaving my 10 month old fatherless and now leaving my godchild without a father fiqure. Who knows maybe I will get over these emotions, but right now it just seems selfish. I truely hope no one is offended.
PS Some of you shop owners I thinking of parking his bike at different shops as a eye opener to younger riders buying litre bike and trying to be Biker Boyz or getting all pumped from a video and trying those tactics on the public street. Let me know if you woudl be interested. ( this is all pending on the approval of his wife )
