    Another Rider down. Anyone know him?

    Taken from The Nashua Telegraph

    Published: Friday, Jul. 2, 2004

    DERRY - A 21-year-old Hudson man died Thursday after he drove his motorcycle into oncoming traffic on Route 28 and collided with two cars, police said.

    Ian Boucher of 84 Central St. was pronounced dead at Parkland Medical Center shortly after the crash, which happened just south of Kilrea Road at about 3:05 p.m., Derry police Sgt. Keith Moreau said.

    Moreau said Boucher never regained consciousness after he was found lying on the west side of the road about 30-40 feet from where his 2004 Honda CBR 600 RR had crashed into two vehicles, Moreau said.

    Police investigators determined that the Honda had been traveling north in the southbound lane when it first collided head-on with a 2000 Volkswagen Jetta driven by Lisa Salvo, 35, of Salem, then was involved in a second collision with a 2000 Jeep Wrangler driven by Stephanie Johnson, 49, of Derry, Moreau said.

    Fire officials were first to arrive at the crash scene, where they found Boucher unconscious and immediately began emergency treatment, Moreau said.The Honda was lying in the center of the road, and a helmet was recovered, but investigators have not been able to determine whether Boucher was wearing it at time of the collision, Moreau said. Derry Fire Department crews transported Boucher to Parkland Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead, he said.

    Moreau could not provide the time of death, but said it was relatively soon after he arrived to the medical center.

    Johnson was also transported to Parkland Medical Center for observation due to emotional distress following the crash, fire officials said.

    At 9 p.m. Thursday, Johnson was not listed as a patient at the medical center.

    An investigation into the crash is ongoing, police said.

    Definitely sad that anyone dies so young. However, without knowing all the facts myself, it does appear that he was at fault. Bike was brand new, I wonder if he was a new rider?

    21 years old on a 600 RR is not a good thing...
    Most kids these days still think a 600 is a good starter bike, but it's hardley the case, these things are little rockets now... Huge power and extremely light and flickable... inexperience is what I think was the cause, but we really cant be sure yet...

    21 is much too young for your life to be over, it's really only begining....

    Very sad to hear of this loss, my prayers go out to his family...

    Apparently, this kid just picked up the 600RR 15 minutes before this accident, and it was infact his first bike. I actually happened upon the accident site not long after it happened. He did a fair amount of damage to the Jeep, and it looks as though this was his first high speed corner that he encountered and wasn't able to stay within his lane. Obviously he didn't know what he was doing.

    I'm not sure what the hell kids like this are thinking. I rode dirt bikes as a kid and then took the MSF class before even touching a streetbike.

    Of course the first thing I did after finishing the class was march down to the local dealership and ride off with a brand new '98 ZX6R and I did fine.

    Very sad, though.

    Very sad. 15 minutes before the accident? If that's the case I'd look first at those new tires as the culprit.

    Rye, I think ya hit the nail on the head. I'm sure lack of experience also was a factor but riding on unscrubbed tires at that speed would certainly been an issue.

    Um, riiiiiight. It's not like he went down in a corner. He drove into oncoming traffic and got into a head on accident. Not knowing what he was doing was the reason he is now dead, 100% of the reason.

    He did go down in a corner. I came accross the accident scene just a bit after it happened. It happened maybe 1/4 to 1/2 a mile south of the Aprilia dealership in Derry on 28. I think it is a 50 mph zone with a right hand bend where the accident occured.

    First of all this kid has died in a traumatic accident, theres no need for patronizing or even gesturing ill will upon him. He made a mistake, we all do... he paid the ultimate price, he didn't know what he was getting into. We all make wrong choices in our lives, some worse than others, thats how we learn sometimes. Problem is if we don't know the whole story and simply make assumptions, you know what assuming does.

    A lot of people seem to think that riding on new tires is like riding on ice skates. He rode into oncoming traffic, end of story.

    I'm not trying to be an ass. I thought this forum was about calling things like we see them.

    However, here is the way that I look at it; it was his first bike and he'd ridden it for 15 minutes. You stated that the first thing you would look at as the culprit was the tires. Who knows, maybe the tires had something to do with it.

    But, I think most of us will agree that the fact that this was his first bike, with 15 minutes' experience on it, that inexperience was most likely the reason why he failed to safely navigate that corner, no?

    this isn't even worth arguing. All that needs to be said is that he died because he was an inexperienced rider and thats a shame. I only posted this thread to see if anyone knew this rider since it was close to where a few of us live. I was not trying to start a debate over whether he died because of new tires or if he didn't know what he was doing.

    Good points, all. I just hope that maybe some people thinking of entering this sport at least learn from this tragedy.

    Riding a motorcycle well requires a lot of experience, education, and in my opinion, maturity.

    This is so very true and its very unfortunate that not many new riders understand these points.

    i 100% agree w/ those three things.... you need all of those things to ride it WELL and (close) to it's potential, but i think respect probably plays the biggest part of the four we've mentioned...

    you can ride a bike & know jack shit about it and it's abilities and it's not likely it will kill you... quickly

    you can ride a bike & have very little experience and it's not gonna bite you in the ass... right away

    you can ride a bike & be an immature little boy and it won't buck you off... till you do somethin stupid

    but the second you show disrespect to what you've got underneath you... you're toast, unless you got luck on your side

    (so my theory may not be 100% perfect... but it sounds good at least to me )
