Sorry to hear that. My brother lost his right arm and leg in a motorcycle wreck. I am terribly sorry about your friend.

This is the exact reason I hate bikes so much

Truckn' I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Back on March 15th I lost my best friend the same way. David was exactly a month into turning 26, and was living life to the fullest.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to your friend, his family and friends, as well as to you and your family. Keep you head up and know that he is in a better place. I can't say that as each day passes it gets easier, but by keeping their memory alive they still remain with us.

If you ever need to talk feel free to pm me... I had several offers from other board members when I lost my best friend, and it helped just knowing that.

May he rest in peace!

He had to other friends with him riding when it happened. 32 years young, way to early in life to be leaving

The gentleman who was P.O. of my first sportbike died in a similar circumstance. It was very comforting to his family and I that the medical staff is sure that he had no knowledge of or pain from the accident. It offered great peace of mind to us all that his last expirience on this earth was with a smile on his face and doing something he loved very much. I hope that you can take similar comfort.
