Today i got the bad news of a friend killed in a motorcycle accident. Please be very careful on your bike . Watch out for drivers not used to seeing bikes out again. practice your riding skills that may be a little rusty after a long winter .Never assume someone sees you. Ride Safe everyone.

I am very sorry to hear this. 90% of the time it is a cage drives fault. I think they should be charged with murder. Was the drive on a cell phone? Yes all please ride safe.

Sorry about all the folks who fall victim to inattentive drivers, Cell phones, inside the car conversations, dropped cigarette, spilled booze, etc.

I would rather ride my sidecar rig than ride a safe.

Thanks for the kind words .in the last 2 years 3 of us have been hit .Don was killed. my friend got banged up pretty bad when a girl hit his sidecar . i was lucky . i was bruised up and sore from being hit. all we can do is keep learning to ride better and watch out .and never ride faster than our Guardian Angel can fly.

Wow Horrorguy, sorry to hear about your friend. It kind of hits close to home for me because I lost my leg after getting hit in oct of 09, that's how I started riding sidecar rigs. you never think your going to get hit a second time but it can and does happen sometimes. My prayers are with your friends family.
