RIP - Rider down in Green Valley Ranch

[Kendo]

Himilaya and 48th.

I was on my way home from getting some food and a couple of cop cars driving really fast with their lights on flew past me and on the opposite side of the road I saw a Blue and white Yamaha Sportbike in pieces and about 25 to 30 feet from the bike the rider was covered with a white sheet.

I hope that this wasnt anyone from here. RIP !!

This is the only thing that I have found so far on the news:

:cry: Hearing about that sort of thing makes me feel sick. RIP.

[mtnairlover]

Me too. RIP. :cry:

[DrQ]

yikes

[InlineSIX24]

That sucks. Its kinda bad with the potholes, gravel, and occasional slick spots out there. Now all we need is some dumbasses who don't know how to drive their cars... oh wait..

[reddeth]

Aw man that sucks. I remember just driving along and having traffic just slow way down all of a sudden and thinking "Man, what the hell are these people doing OH MY GOD". Accross the street all I see is a bike on the ground and a guy on his back, his head under a red SUV driven by, get this, a woman on a cell phone. I don't know if he died or not (it couldn't have happened more than 30 sec before I drove by, and the only reason I didn't stop is that there were already 30 people around him and since I don't know any life saving techniques I'd just have gotten in the way) but I certainly hope the woman in the SUV got arrested.

More info on the crash:

"A man was allegedly speeding on his motorcycle when he lost control and hit a fire hydrant at the 4700 block of Himalaya Saturday. Police say he was killed instantly."

I just saw it on channel 7, it looked like an 05 or 06 Suzuki GSX R. The news reported a woman saw a guy doing wheelies just before the accident but couldn't report if it was the same person. I always think what could have been done to prevent a fatal accident like that. A real shame.

[FZRguy]

Wheelies, speeding in town on roads that require an SUV to negotiate. I don’t mean to be insensitive but it sounds like the dude died of stupidity.

[Spiderman]

Possibly, but R.I.P. nonetheless.

Be careful out there everybody.

[thunderseye]

whoa that is just right down the road from my house

[ten31]

dangerous is this game of ours

[Sonic Boom]

It's a risk we take every time we thumb that starter. I rode from Orlando to Largo (Tampa area, about 140 miles one way) yesterday and today, almost got whacked 3 times by idiots on their cell phones. Be careful everyone.

[ten31]

It's a risk we take every time we thumb that starter.

Sport Rider.

[Sonic Boom]

huh...?

[Brizz]

MMMM Green Valley Ranch.....

Oh and RIP, it gets said every year, but its too early in the season to be having this kind of thing happen...Becareful out there everybody.

[ten31]

huh...?

What you said is a direct quote from Sport Rider magazine.

[Skadi]

Yep, you can always tell when the season gets started. Sad stuff

[Sonic Boom]

What you said is a direct quote from Sport Rider magazine.
Oh... I dont read sport rider. I swiped that phrase from my roommate Who reads sport rider I'm guessing.... Now I know where he got. Thanks lol

[Mental]

It's a risk we take every time we thumb that starter...
Thats why I mash mine with my forehead.

Yes, any rider down sucks. God lord willing, it'll get someone else to ride a little safer.

[FZRguy]

...it'll get someone else to ride a little safer.

That was my point...no intent on dissing a dead guy. The Post says “A 57-year-old Denver man was killed when he lost control of his motorcycle and crashed near 45th Avenue and Himalaya Road on Saturday afternoon. The rider was not identified. He was driving too fast when he hit gravel and dirt, and then crashed into a fire hydrant, said Detective John White.”

[tripledigits]

It'll be tiptoe season awhile longer. My right wrist is withering from the inactivity.....

[I`m Batman]

Don't let Brizz hear ya say that...he'll pistol whip ya! Just ask Beotch.

:D

[Brizz]

He said WHAT!!?!!?

[Sonic Boom]

Put those away!!!!!

[CYCLE_MONKEY]

The link said "Developing story" for me, but RIP nonetheless......:cry:

Scruff Doggy and I went out a little the last few days, and it was sandy as hell. Be careful guys......

Oh, and WTF is this with all these peeps running outta gas on me?!?!?! Steve m'man, that's the last time I'm pushing yo ass!:lol:

[DeeStylez]

That sucks running out of gas, luckily that only happened to me on my moped :)

RIP Rider

[dm_gsxr]

Scruff Doggy and I went out a little the last few days, and it was sandy as hell. Be careful guys......

+1 I've been taking the Transalp out and the ice pits were bad but when I got the 'busa out I was stepping out on several turns, even when there wasn't evidence of sand. Couple of time I thought I was going to drop her.

And a big be careful to the ladies as well. I know Rita's starting to get the itchy palm :)

[Kitelovers]

It's berry bad out there........I saw a guy on Abilene go down right before the light at Mississippi. It's so sandy out there....I am so tempted..........tempt by the fruit of another!!!!!!!!!:siesta:

[Devaclis]

I rode today, well, after lunch, and found a lot of sand. Saw a TON of other bikes on the road today too. Ride safe and get home alive :)

[TFOGGuys]

I rode to work on Friday....left the house at 40 degrees, dry roads...head west on I-70 from East Jesus....start noticing shiny spots on the highway about Sheridan...start noticing the side streets are white about Wadsworth....get off at Youngfield to get my morning burrito from 7-11, and the ramp is icy and snowpacked...this shit ain't fun on a sportbike....or my antique Interceptor either... stayed upright and got some amazing looks from folks at 7-11 though.....:crazy:

I had the benefit of getting further information regarding this accident that I am not able to discuss. I will say unrelated to this specific incident that there is a place to be speeding, stunting and putting your knee down.

If you think that's all you need to know I feel sorry for you. Learning comes from understanding others mistakes and applying those lessons to your own life.To learn from the death of another is a study in humility. Grow up.

As much as it pains me to agree, I have to say :imwithstupid:

[Sully]

Not trying to patronize you here ten31, but what can we learn from the death of this rider when we don't have the details on what really happened to him ? :( Maybe you can enlighten us ?

If you can not say the "top secret" info, then why even mention it?? Are you wanting to feel cooler then everyone else??.. Regardless.. a rider died today, yes I agree that everyone can learn from it. But if your not going to say the info you learned, don't put yourself out there to say "hey look at me I know a secret, but I can't tell you!" <~~that needs some growning up!

RIP :cry:

[Kitelovers]

I agree!!! No secrets...........common share with us Pet??:siesta:

You were in a 4G, inverted dive with a MiG-28?"So you're the one!!!":)

[~Barn~]

Yes Ma'am.

[Kitelovers]

LOL................:)

[ten31]

There are laws, specifically HIPAA that don't allow me to discuss medical information. Just take the information from the news as the point of caution. There are no guarantees when we ride. Ill post more later. I'm stuck in traffic right now.

Slider: Goose, who's butt did you kiss to get in here anyway?
Goose: The list is long, but distinguished.
Slider: Yeah, well so is my Johnson.

And One of my favorite movie quotes ever

Goose: The defense department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid.

grow up???? what is it that we need to learn form this.... hey dont die doing what you love cuz its going to end up on the internet with a bunch of self-righteous ass holes that will sit around and talk shit cuz A you were speeding, B you were doing wheelies or C you are just not as good as everyone on the sport bike boards... so tell me sunshine what is it that i need to learn from anothers death that i didint learn in the first year of riding????


and beotch you only agree cuz you love the gossip even about another rider dieing you just need to know the whos the whys and the hows.... how about this shit.... he died im sure he has a ton of friends and family that are siting around crying their eyes out..... you know i could post some shit but i dont want to stir the pot that bad....

but ten31 when you get info like that keep it to your own..... dont post crap out of the respect for the fallen rider....... you never know it may be you some day.,...

[Beotch]

Right, because as we just all know, I fucking love to bury my friends who were just doing what they love.
No, I agree because no matter how long you have been riding, there is ALWAYS something that you can gleen from those around you. Some lessons can be learned while out riding and having a good time, other lessons are learned through the hard lessons of others. If you feel that you learned everything there is to know about riding in the first year you owned your bike, you are a fucking god. In the meantime, if the rest of us can discuss what happened and where things went wrong and prevent another rider from making the same mistake, than I would gladly participate in that.

[#1Townie]

ok then what is it that you learned from this???

[Brizz]

i need a hug.

[ten31]

The point is that this sport remains highly fatal. The point is to ride however you want, but in the right environment. The point is to minimize factors that can cause serious injury or death. It is why we wear helmets and other gear. The streets are a constantly changing, never ending set of hazards. I agree with beotch on her points as well. If u think u learned everything in one year, don't ride near me. I have 20k miles in the last 2 years of riding in south florida which has some of the worst drivers anywhere. I consider myself a good safe rider. Yet with all that experience, I have not riden 1 mile on Colorado roads and I rely on learning from others for knowledge to be able to safely do so. This is what separates those who know how to operate a motorcycle from those who are good riders. The sooner you learn this, the longer your life expectancy.

WOW you didn't understand a thing I said huh :no: Yes I know about HIPAA, I am in the educational field + I have my BS in Criminal Justice... what I was sayin is that don't put youself out there to say you know something but you can't repeat it.... Oh and btw, you just talking about it and poting it up sayin that you know all this "stuff" on the internet, is against HIPAA...

[M-18Taser]

i need a hug.

Here ya go my buddy brizz :hug:

[#1Townie]

Listen to you, you self righteous HYPOCRITE! You want to learn, you have humility BULL!! My turn entry tips were dissed whether I talk seriously or not! Get over yourself.

[ten31]

so tell me sunshine what is it that i need to learn from anothers death that i didint learn in the first year of riding????


Here you say you cant learn anything from anothers death. Because you already know everything because you learned everything in your first year. Well everything you can learn from a dead person. Apparently all you can learn from is the living.

[#1Townie]

no i learned that no matter where you ride or how you ride you can die..... no matter how good or bad of a rider you are....

[ten31]

For one, as we get ready to start a new season of riding, be careful what you do while on the bike. Its a reminder of something we all learned in the early stages of riding, yet often forget.

The second thing you can learn/remember from this is that there are people who will be affected should you be injured/killed and that often times, whether single or married, they will carry the emotional scars.

Third, the roads are way too dirty to be messing around.

Is that enough for you?

[#1Townie]

hey anything else that can be said can be said in pms stop the rambling in this thread.....

[ten31]

no i learned that no matter where you ride or how you ride you can die..... no matter how good or bad of a rider you are....

While agree you can die at any time. There are things you can control and things you cant. Mitigating your risk is something you could learn. Getting hit by a car? Unforseeable. Looping the bike while performing a wheelie? Preventable.

Understanding the mistakes of others and implementing them in your riding makes you a better rider.

[ten31]

hey anything else that can be said can be said in pms stop the rambling in this thread.....

We are still on point junior.

[#1Townie]

pm sent grandpa

[M-18Taser]

So this one time at BAND CAMP.... oh wait.... what.... opps wrong thread.... carry on...

[#1Townie]

hey i used to have a van that had that spray painted on the side...

[M-18Taser]

Outstanding :lol:
I used to have a car till I totaled it... yeah... thats how I roll!

[Spiderman]

hey anything else that can be said can be said in pms stop the rambling in this thread.....

Good call (better late than never).

As for someone knowing information and not sharing, as much as it sucks to be on this end of the (lack of) information, I kinda look at it from a "trust me when I say this" point of view, not just the ramblings of somebody who's making assumptions.

Now, if anybody would like to continue discussing what can (or cannot) be learned from the death of another rider, GO START A NEW THREAD, and leave this one for the mourning of this fallen rider. :|

[dm_gsxr]

i need a hug.
