    What a bummer...

    A good reminder to us all to "Ride your own ride" and keep the "Pace" in mind when on group rides...

    As terrible as it is to hear these things, I'm really truly glad I have. These stories sit in the back of my mind every single time I get on my bike, and make me think twice about every action I take.

    Thanks for posting.

    Thanks for posting.

    A sobering read and is perfect for a situation on another board I'm on where someone dumped his Ninja 250 (after having it two weeks, less than 400 miles) and now says he's ready for a ZZR600. Granted, it's not an all out RR, but it's about getting in over your head and NOT riding your own ride.

    damn sucks to read those stories but its a humbling reminder. i started out on a cbr600 a few months ago and have not had one situation where i tried to keep up. just have to ride with extra self control.
