it finally hit home...

[breakdirt916]

I just heard that one of my friend's little brother was killed on his motorcycle last night.

It was one of those scenarios where, last year, the mother absolutely forbid him from getting one, and hates every second that he had it. But his father had a harley, sister liked riding on the back of her bf's bike, and he was old enough to make his own decisions. I'm not quite clear on the details, but my friend said he was on his R6 and was going ~40mph when a T-bone accident involving another car going ~40 killed him instantly.

Now iI've heard of plenty of crashes and read about the deaths posted here on NESR, but this one finally hit home. I mean, this is the first time I've been connected personally to the accident. I can just remember hearing about how he got this bike last year, and how his sister had mixed feelings about it, but since her bf and I ride, she'd been supporting her brother this whole time. I can't imagine how much pain she (and her family) must be going through and I just hope they don't blame themselves over this. Please keep her family and close friends in your prayers tonight.

And please watch over your close friends and family too...you never know what could happen.

May he rest in peace...

Well said Bhavesh....may he rest in peace. And may all his family find comfort in their chosen spiritual path....

RIP....always sorry to hear about riders down.

similar situation happened with a guy my dad works worth...he bought his son a 600 for a graduation gift, against his wife's wishes, so they could ride together and stuff.....he was killed a few months later on it.

It is never easy when it hits home. I had a hard time getting back into the saddle after a good friend lost his life last spring.

That just sucks.

Was this the kid from Holliston who crashed in Millis?
I worked with one of the fireman today who responded last night if it was. I did hear some of the details that led up to that crash. Not pretty.

Sad to hear, and so young...

RIP to the fallen rider. Lots of "can't stop in time" this year, my own get-off included. It doesn't really matter who's fault or who has the right-of-way. We all need to learn from these postings and be prepared to stop a lot shorter. Roads are becoming more crowded and driver distractions are a lot more prevalent making this unfortunate trend endanger all of us.

thanks for your kind words guys, it was the accident in millis...I found an article here:

close to home is right. my wife knew him from norfolk arena. she works there and said he was a wicked good kid, always respectful .....

+1 to drivers being distracted

+1 to us being aware and at the ready for anything

Bhavesh,
Only a couple of degrees of separation... Kevin was one of my cousin's good friends... He was leaving their house when it happened and they were first on the scene. I was at a wedding with him just the weekend before last. Really sad. I don't have any more details, and I don't plan on asking any questions any time soon. Man, this sucks.

[greenmonster]

A real tragedy. My condolences to his family and all who knew him. RIP

RIP to them

Practice the panic stops
Whenever possible avoid crowded areas
Make eye contact with anyone with the potential for entering your travel lane.
Heads up at all intersections green schmeen look and look
If you have a flasher trigger SUZUKIS use it


I had a bright red car T boned totaled and I was in a line of cars lady turned to yell at her kids and just drove through a red. If it was a bike I would be dead.


My boys won't be on the street as long as they are under my aegis.
Hypocrite well tuff titties boy

[Hoss]

Sorry to hear about this. My condolences and thoughts are with the family.

[KillBill]

I'm sorry to hear about this horrible loss you and your friend and his family are going through.

Rest In Peace
