Its too early in the season for this....

Lets not be stupid people. Sand, Pot Holes, unattentive drivers and Busy roads can be dangerous enough without adding in the wheelie on a very busy road with lots of places for people to cut you off.

RIP, but let this be a lesson to stupid riders.

[Bandit12k]

Damn, those Diesel tanks do have a nasty tendency to jump out at you.

[ChR1s]

Oh but wait... He had a choice!

Edit: RIP I hope someone learns something from his loss.

[hammadown]

Its not a good sign that this is happening before some of us even get out bikes out of storage. Lets hope this is not the trend for the year


RIP...

May his soul rest in peace, and may we all learn a lesson from this.

I love me some wheelies - stand-ups this year!

[roadracer685]

I run the service dept at Pats Service Center we towed the bike theres not much left of it, we do most of the police towing in and around Worcester and every year we tow lots of bikes and most of them come with a doing something stupid story. And yes isnt it a little early for this?

Let's not forget this is a local story, motorcycling is a small community and it's entirely possible that someone on here knew the guy.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Andy was a good friened of mine for the past 14 years. He was the son of Paul Belsito (RoadRacer 685's employer's competitor). He grew up in a tow lot and could drive a car motorcycle, snowmobile, boat, 18 wheeler, tractor you name it by the time he was 12, and do oit better then most pros. I rode with him lots of times on the same R1 that he crashed, we reposessed it together 2 years ago. I went down to Pats to see the wreakage with Worcester PD and was horrified by the condition of the bike.

This kid was a good kid. I am not saying that cause he is dead, he really was. Like a lot of us he was pent up to ride after the long winter. It was a nice day so he rolled the bike out of the shop and and launched a few up and down route 20. The last one got him and now he is gone. His choice of locations was bad, but I can tell you he just wanted to fire the bike and go out for a short rip on the first nice day of a long winter, now he is gone.

So sorry for your loss bro. Horrible news. It sucks when any of us go down, whether we choose to pull up a wheelie, take a twisty at high speed and gettin low in the process, going faster than the posted speed limit, or when we're doing exactly what we're supposed to be doing. RIP.
