The guy who bought my Gsxr 1k crashed

[FirstWorldProblems]

Really sad. He was clearly riding too fast for city streets and wasn't wearing a helmet, but it's still sad. They kept him alive on a ventilator until this morning. He was 22 and bought the bike just over 2 months ago.

To everyone that rides, put your goddamn gear on

wow, yeah I know people get so caught up with these bikes but it bites that he didn't learn prior to it killing him

WAY too many bike crashes this summer...most resulting in deaths. You arent fucking invincible on these things. It boggles my mind that so many dont wear helmets.

No helmet on a 1K Gixxer is asking for death. R.I.P. to the guy.

It's a shame to trash a beautiful bike like that.

i know this was a typo.... but many bikers are invisible on these things.

they think they are invincible too.

I'm not sure what it is going to take for these dumb fuckin' kids(and adults) to slow the fuck down on these things. Evidently for some...it takes a departure from this Earth.

I feel horrible for his family

It boggles my mind with so many accidents resulting in death, most people that ride know this person or that person. Most of these accidents are from riding to fast, like a dick or both. Yet what do they do? They set up a memorial cruise and proceed to rocket down the highway at 170mph still. The next day, same thing.
People really need to learn. Your friends are dying doing exactly what you are doing. Riding as fast as you can down the highway from point A to B, whipping in and out of traffic, all while doing wheelies.

fuck bikes.

not doin' it.

My favorite are the super hardcore awesome guys who actually bring their helmet with them... strapped to the helmet hook under the seat. Just put the fucking thing on, the only person who will give a shit in the end of you not wearing a helmet is your family when your brain matter is highway spinart because you're a dipshit.

Yes I know helmets won't 100% save you but it sure will give you a much larger chance.

looks like the car wasnt paying attention either....nailed his ass while turning

Had the same thing happen to me. I had a busa for about 2 weeks. Decided it was too big for me and a guy came and bought it from me the first day I put it up for sale. He said he took time off from riding because he had his daughter and she was finally big enough he could get another bike. Crashed and died on his way home with it not 15 miles from leaving my house. I know it doesn't reflect how I have to ride but it scarred me enough to never want to ride again.

Now that's messed up...damn

 

[blakbearddelite]

Yikes, that is terrible. I agree with everyone about not understanding why some guys won't wear full gear. You couldn't pay me enough to get on a bike...even with full gear.

Poor bobby! Funny lil guy he was

RIP!

RIP Bobby

Misjudged for sure. If the dude was doing XX over the limit, how are you supposed to know that before turning? You expect the speed limit, and most drivers can judge timing like that. Hell, the car could've looked once and saw nothing...but then the next there is all of a sudden a bike crashing into you.

Wow...talk about sad

Mirko just told this was the same kid that his grand prix was on fire months ago and I knocked on their door to tell them

 

[Euro]

Jeez, small world

DAMN!! Every year I go through this same shit and want to sell my bike. I love it more than ever now but it still don't stop me from bailing on it and buying another fun car.
