    Rider down on Bank & S. Winooski, 7/1 at ~6:30PM

    Looked like a pretty severe crash involving a red late-model CBR600RR and possibly a car. At the time that I saw, bike was lying down in the intersection and rider was lying on the sidewalk being worked on by medics, not moving. Full face helmet but didn't see jacket, might have already been cut off by the EMTs. Anyone know what happened? Bambino, please check in and tell me that wasn't you...

    I hope it is no one we know but considering we are a "community" I bet someone will know the rider.

    :phew:

    yeah, in retrospect the bike didnt have as much black on it as yours, but all I saw was the top. It was a male rider, but didnt see much else. I was crazy worried and didnt stick around rubbernecking.

    Apparently there was another rider down on Battery Street Friday night, but he seemed to be in good enough shape to be yelling at the woman who hit him (or whom he hit, dunno the situation). Or so I was told, anyway.

    Dunno; I didn't witness it. Heard about it from my friend James's parents, who saw it on their way over.

    It's that time of the year... Out-of-state cagers flooding the streets of our fair city, not paying attention, talking on cellphones, etc. etc.

    Everyone ride safe!

    Wow, I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers. You hate to hear of this happening at all and lately it's been all too frequent. Maddening.

    Holy shit... I was worried when I didn't see him moving on the ground but I didn't think it was going to be that bad. That's awful, hoping for all the best...
