A friend was killed early Thursday night in east Rutherford (RT17 and RT3). Hit an opossum, lost control. I was out with the guy a couple hours before this happened. Messed up $hit, never get used to it. The wake is tonite

Damn sorry. What happened? The media is making out he lost control because of wet conditions.


Condolences to friends and family.

Very crowded roads in the North Side of SI, I used to work off Arthur Kill road, dont know if I would ride on Staten Island especially Richmon Terrace area. The road conditions suck alsofrom all teh natural springs and bad winters construction etc etc. Sorry for your bud, will send prayers to him and family.
