Friend's son crashed in Somersworth, owned the bike one day.

[Quigs]

"Hey, my son got a crotch rocket". I was up at a friend's house Friday night, and we were having some beers and checking it out. He wasn't there, but his insurance/paperwork was tucked under the strap on the passenger seat, waiting for plates.

Got a call this morning from my buddy Tony, the kid took it out last night, illegally passed two cars and slammed into the back of an SUV. He had the bike one day. He's in the hospital, he'll survive, a few broken bones and a concussion, but the important part is that he'll walk away from it. He had the bike ONE DAY. Didn't even pick up a helmet yet, was fortunately wearing an old snowmobile helmet he had laying around. On mother's day, his mom is spending it in the hospital.

Pretty sobering. And all the more reason that if you want to go fast, please for fuck's sake take your ass to the track.

Be safe out there guys.

I feel bad for the kids parents but what a fucktard

My sentiments exactly man. The only bright side is that he's alive, didn't kill anyone, didn't break his neck and will be able to walk away and (hopefully) never throw a leg over a bike again. It's a small consolation for his parents, but it is what it is.

From what I hear, to make matters worse one of his father's friends actually called him earlier in the night to say "Hey, I just saw your kid blow by me going 100+." On a 30mph backroad. Ugh.

I am lucky to be here today. Seriously lucky. I should never have survived my late teens and early twentys. and thirties. yeah...and some of my fourties.

I had my share of life lessons. Now, I'm more than happy to let others have the experience that they can share with me...

...maybe this young man will have learned a lesson here too....

Except for the fourties part. I hurt too much now to do crazy things. I have an old back injury acting up to keep me calm.

Happens all the time.

Did this accident happen in the Haverhill/Groveland area? I saw a kid earlier in the day going WAY to fast. Passed me and waved me on like he wanted to race.... I gave him the finger. Fucktard.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. you cant call "Ban" on every stupid comment. If that was the case many of us would not be here.

And my opinion is that when a member decides to "lmao" at the fact that another member's friend almost lost his son to a motorcycle accident said member is a d-bag. I'm not sure if I have ever thrown out the ban emoticon but I guess I am not included in the "everyone is entitled to their own opinion".

not to mention it's his first post

It is the internet dude, slow down. you are entitled to your opinion but i can assure you it takes way more than that to get banned (check the CBR Knight threads, and he had to ban himself). It is a harmless stupid comment let posts 2,3,and 4 form the judgment.

[DaSarge]

Damn thats a crazy story...I hope he makes a full recovery.

[G21forme]

Wow I didn't realize the caused so much of a stir, guess I'll have to use it more often

[EFD 05 1K]

Stories like these really make you think. I mean im only 20 ad i have already done way too much stupid stuff.
I see an experienced riders course in my future thats for sure.

[Quigs]

I talked to my buddy tonight, and he's actually already out of the hospital. Concussion, a bunch of stitches and I have to assume a few broken bones, but what's absolutely amazing is that he walked out of the hospital.

I don't know how fast he was going, but the bike is a complete loss and most likely so is the SUV that he hit, so it had to be a decent impact. Lucky, lucky kid, and as said above, I just hope he learns a good lesson from it. Stories like this always make me shudder. I wasn't that big of an asshole when I rode when I was younger, but I wasn't exactly an icon of safe and courteous riding either.

and my opinion is that when someone does something stupid you have every right to point and laugh and sometimes ask them to do it again.


to be old and wise you must first be young and stupid . . .

[Dieseldan]

wow glad he is ok but I hope he doesnt do that again

[seth399]
