Default Did anyone hear about the rider down...

Did anyone hear about the rider down in the area of us 19 and 38th ave? I guess it happen on monday or tuesday.

I think a yellow Mustang pulled out and a yellow GSXR hit the car and was ejected over the car. I was told he didnt have a helmet on and was DOA.

Just wanted to know what was true about the story.

Why even post if you dont directly know them? You guys dont post all the random car accidents in the area. Its just getting a bit old, and I know a few people that dont frequent as much because they say all they read about are RIP threads.

The only reason I asked is caused so many people come up to me and ask if it was me that went down. I guess just cause i have a yellow bike and work in that area.

I heard three differnt stories and was just wondering?

Yes there are too many rider down threads and alot of people may not frequent this site due to that fact... But in all honesty , I appreciate any and all info on any rider down... cause the reality of it is , you may not know him personally , but that doesnt mean any of the 40 some odd people from the bike tech dont... Its informative... I just recently rode with a kid from Qsl that was down from apollo beach who knew my ex , and was not aware of her passing... Please dont knock someone because they feel inclined to spread the word and perhaps have it find someon who cares...

Because we are a relatively small group and though we may not directly know everyone, more often times than not, someone on the board has a connection (assuming the Rider Down is local) with the rider.

Similar to the "wave"... we don't know every rider that rolls past, but we still wave.
