Don't worry. If the messiah isn't defeated in November so that obamacare is repealed the death panels will quickly weed out all these too old to drive people anyway.

Very sorry to hear about this tragedy... I'm just as sorry that some a-holes can't add to a thread without bringing politics into it. This is NOT a political thread. It's about an event that has forever changed the lives of several people. Please leave the bullsh!t in the poli forum. THAT'S WHAT IT'S FOR.

You're new here, don't worry about it. You've just found out some folks need hints. Sometimes an appropriate smiley will work (ok, some don't actually have a smiley face) - , or just a word in parenthesis (sarcasm/joking/just kidding, etc). Remember, readers can't see facial expressions or hear tone of voice. Most of us that sound wound kind of tight would probably have a beer together with no problems.

Age detriments aren't the only thing we riders need to worry about.

If you go to Bike Night or a nightclub and consume more than a couple of beers, I need to worry about you.

If you've not been properly trained to get behind the wheel of a car or the handlebars of motorycle, I need to worry about you.

I'll bet this rarely happens in a country like Germany, where it truly is a privilage to obtain and hold a driver license.

This is very sad, but unfortunately, it will happen again.

Well one of the guys that went down (was riding next to and behind both of the guys that were killed) had me rebuild his front end. Wanted it done by Saturday for one of the other guys' funeral. After he went to several dealerships around the state with a lot of money to buy new parts, I was able to get his front end back together. Now you can't even tell he went down.

Good job, looks new. This looks like the same bike to the left of this photo, resolution isn't good enough to tell what damage was done, though the front fender appears wrinkled. I'd guess the bike went down on impact. Did you have to replace the forks and/or fairing? That would be a fast repair to do that. Glad you could do that for him, doubt if most dealers would have that quickly.
