This happened Monday night...

Motorcyclist falls 50 feet off I-29 exit

The article doesn't say it, but some friends of mine were traveling behind him on southbound I-29 (I wasn't there) and it's likely that the loss of control was related to the wheelie he was supposedly doing on the way up the ramp.

This stuff makes me so frustrated. I ache for the kid and his family - nobody should have to go through something like this. Yet I get angry thinking about the sequence of choices that led to the crash.

That blows.

It always sucks when a rider goes down (and not just because it effects public opinion and insurance rates) but it also sucks when the rider did something stupid (if your friends are right) that caused it.

They didn't say he died, just that his condition was unavailable. Hopefully it wasn't fatal.
