Hey scootertrash,

any info on the MC crash in your neighborhood this morning?

**scootertrash** · 06-10-04, 06:55 AM

I don't have many details.
It's always sad to hear of a motorcycle fatality.
My wife was pretty freaked out...it happened shortly after I left for work on my bike, and when she left to bring the kids to school, the road was closed because of a "fatal motorcycle accident". Needless to say, she made many frantic calls to verify it wasn't me.
I am not certain, but it appears to have happened on a corner about a mile from my house. There is a new house going up near the spot. There is an older wooden post guardrail around the sweeping corner, and half way around the corner one of the posts is snapped in half. Looks like it happened there. Haven't heard much about how it may have happened.

Is it raining up there?

I rode in this morning. (Yep I got another bike) We got a ton of rain last night and it was still raining on the way in but traction was good.

Ben...what did you get for a bike ? As far as rain, not much this morning. I rode in and only hit a couple of light showers. It's clear now.

I got another red VFR.

This time it's an 04. I really wanted to find a nice used one but it really looked like I was going to look all summer and not find one, or end up taking a road trip halfway across the country to buy a bike that I couldn't check out first. The only real leads on used ones I found here were at dealers, and the prices were ridiculous.

I got the bags sitting in my garage, hopefully I can attach the rails tomorrow night so I can ride up to the track this weekend rather than taking my car.

I saw that you were online so I figured it wasn't you, Kristen must have been going nutz

Hey...there's only one spot with sand left...about half way down Trask at the bottom of a steep hill. It's too far to lug a broom to, plus that's where I rollerblade and going through a bunch of sand at high speeds on rollerblades adds a bit of excitement to the day.
