Default Just Sucks

Two weeks ago, a long time fixture of the old KatanaPlanet/Katriders Forum (Cyberpoet) died while riding ( http://katriders.com/vb/showthread.php?t=102355 ) . Last week, the brother of a member of another forum died and last night, the son of a friend of mine (PPFOG, from Squidbusters, whom I have shared a number of his posts on this forum) died while riding ( http://www.squidbusters.com/sb/showthread.php?t=9626 )

I have been so busy the last few month's I haven't been on here or anywhere else and have ridden the least in many years, and yet lost so many folks I've known..................


You all be safe out there.............

CastorTroy here lost his best friend and we lost a member on my local board as well. I know there is a few others I am forgetting, but it's been a bad year for veteran riders. Stay safe out there man, good hearing from ya.

That was the guy in Chattanooga I believe, wasn't it? I remember hearing about that on the news. Some stupid kid got pissed off at his parents and went stood in the road.

Always sad when this kind of thing happens. Everyone ride safe and keep that head on a swivel.
