That is so sad right before the holiday's too.
RIP and my thought's and prayers to his family and friends.
One time I got stopped for speeding on the Colordo Utah boarder
and after a discussion with the Officer about Bannana's, pockets and glad tidings to all he let me off with a warning
and a farewell of "I am always on this strech of highway and I will be watching for you."
My response "I feel so much better knowing that you Officer Pennywise will be looking out for me."
WAIT WHAT??!!!!!
RIP brother.
-Dedicated to all of those with BIG egos.
Rip Charles... Stay Safe out there guys.
I just researched his name on Myspace. Turns out he was a Combat Medic in the Army on Ft. Carson. RIP Soldier....

Okay I would like to add my two cents in on this matter. I am Michael the friend that was ridding with him that day.
I like to say thanks to everyone for the respect ya'll have shown. And also would like to clear up the incorrect details of whats been said.
First, Charles was never in the military, and there is no way to view his page unless you are a friend approved by him.
Second i'd like to say that Rocfrog, your wife's coworker is incorrect about a lot of what shes told you.
That day the feinace was in front of us when he and I came over the hill, he and I both were in the right lane, he behind me, and both of us twenty or thirty feet behind his feinace's car. He then dropped a gear and came around me speeding pass his feinace and cutting acrossed in front of her and hitting the curb. His bike never hit her car. And she stopped right away, being the first to his side. I did come to a skidding stop when almost loosing control of my bike. I againd control and slowly rode by, ridding up to the coldasack, and parked the bike not aware of what I was doing I jumped off and dropped my key, and helmet, and sprinted to his side.
As for his feinace calling (911), someone said they already called. She was on the phone with someone I think it was his family. And she did tell people around him to not touch him, she was right then and will forever be right about that. Anyone who's anyone knows not to touch or move someone that is in that state of injury.
I just wanted to clear everything up and give you all the first person point of view.
Thanks again for the prayers, and thoughts. Just everyone be safe and ride hard.
R.I.P - Charles. Forever missed and forever loved.
And lets all just know that Charles died doing what he loved to do, ride!
Thanks.

Thanks everyone, I really appericate it. I'm looking forward to this season of riding so that I can ride for him. Thats what he loved and it's only far to keep riding for him. I was going to give it up, because when this all happened I had only been riding for three days, so needless to say I was thinking I might give it up, but thinking about it, I thought to my self that he wouldn't want me to stop.
So next season is for him.
Thanks again.

I don't want to sound insensitive, and I am not trying to be, but given that you are new to riding, have you taken the MSF course?
I don't want to sound like anybody's mother, but it would just suck to have this discussion again next year about you.
We'll have this discussion again, and we hate it everytime, so if there is even a small window of oppurtunity to reduce that chance, even a little, I kinda like to take it.
If you get the chance, try a few of the group rides when the weather clears up. We have them for every style and pace. And try a few trackdays. They have them at PPIR, PMI and the new track out East. Its a great way to steepen the learning curve in a very controlled enviroment.
Sorry this is your introduction to the site, but we're glad to have you here. Enjoy the season for your friend and ride safe.
I'm glad that is not the case I was just relaying what I was told. Too often these stories get twisted around and just get ugly. No harm was meant by my post just trying to relay info.
Sorry I was misinformed........
Sorry for your loss, it's always sad to loose a loved one or close friend.

Mental - Thanks for being consurned. I am looking into a class for the basic's that you attend at the Chaple Hill Mall I believe. I will be doing that in Fedruary sometime when the weather changes. And I would love to get together with all the locals and ride. I am the only one out of my friends that had a bike right now and would really like to meet new people and learn from the more stronger riders.
I am still working on getting all the proper ridding gear. So thats a must for me, and I would also really like to look into some of the track ridding courses. I have friends that are stunters but that just not my style. So any advice or info I can gain for anyone I would be all open ears.
Like I said thanks for your consurens and everything.
Rocfrog - It's all good I totally understand that things get twisted, and what not. But when Alicia (feinace) read this she got really hurt that people would think that she wouldn't care about someone she loved. So I am glad that everything is cleared up.
Thanks again to everyone for your kind words and thonghts.
~Michael

Michael I would wait til spring when you can put to use what you learn in the BRC. Just my .02 worth... if your military the DOD will pay for the class.
