Default Biker down 03/31/06 @ 3PM on 688

Man, looked pretty nasty on my way home from work. Front end of the bike was gone, people on the side of the road crying, hope the dude is okay. It was a blue sport bike, best I can tell. Looked like he might've been running west 688 and someone pulled out in front of him. I mean, the front of the bike was gone.

Weird....I don't know if it was same guy - but around 1:30ish I saw some guy on a blue bike.....wearing flipflops and a wife beater - I hope it wasn't the same guy. I really hope the guy that got hit makes it ok. : )

Ride safe y'all.

Because riding is addictive. But it makes you happier than drugs.

Yup, that'd be the one. Anybody know what happened? Considering the damage to the bike, he looked like he was going pretty fast.
