One week ago i got word from a coworker that our buddy that we knew from school got killed on a motor cycle accident.He was a very nice person, loyal and had very good work ethic.he was only 19.his only stupid mistake was running away from the popos.he didnt have platyes and when he saw teh sirens he was gone.they found his remains under a van.

I just got a pfone call from my cousing in greece informing me two of my buddies along with some other kid i dont know where killed when my good friend lost control of teh bike.the other kid is injured criticaly.they where all riding on one bike.i believe it was an 800.

this blows, 3 friends died with in one week.it seriously just sux.

i was saving for a crotch rocket next summer, but i'm considering investing somewhere.i hate bikes right now.

Its not the bikes fault the riders made stupid decisions.

In all honesty bikes are not toys like most people think they are. Its a great rush to own and ride one but the dangers is just too much when you look at it. I say if you want a bike dont get one while you are young. Wait until you are older and have some responsibilities.

Young adults and bikes just don't mix.

ILBB.....Do yourself the favor and save that money for something else. Invest in something rather than a bike that could cause problems.

[texasvtak]

Youre absolutely right, ilbb, but placing blame anywhere it shouldnt be doesnt help anything.

its not the riders that make stupid decisions because if they did, it would be their fault. instead, it is the person who decides to be a rider and im unsure if they knew the consequences on getting on that motorcycle.

anyone who plans on riding better start writing their will because one small accident and you will suffer.

Not all the time. Other drivers play a roll too. You do not know how many retards I have seen cut off a bike....Its not funny business at all.

I've had my bike license since i was 16 (now 22) I had a Motorcycle before I had a car. The shit about kids and bikes don't mix is BS... Irresponsible people and bikes don't mix.

I'm sorry to hear that you've lost people close to you but honestly it was their fault. Running from the cops is just dumb, the chances of getting away are small and the chances of getting hurt/killed are incredibly high.

And riding 3 people on a bike built for 2 is dumb again.

As for the others causing motorcyclists to crash... There are precautions. Ride with the proper gear. I use to Wear Vanson Leathers.... its all the same stuff that the racers wear. Plus i wear a full face helmet.

Its obvious that bikes are more dangerous than cars but if you want to ride one... do it. Just be smart and wear the right gear.

i just want my friends back i mean i wasnt really close with them but still thats 3 ppl that i knew that are no longer alive...thinking about their families makes me sick.

That's sad to hear , but stuff like that happens all the time tho'. Even though the cases above don't directly relate to the statistics.... 90 or so% of all motorcycle accidents are normally the fault of someone else (another driver not paying attention) it still sucks. I'm sorry, no disrespect meant, but it sounds like the situations stated above were due to inexperience. Personally, I strongly feel that every rider should go to a riders course (beginners and advanced). I thought I knew how to ride till' I went to those courses, I didn't know squat. I been riding for 7yrs strong now and I can honestly say I learn something new everyday. Think about it before you purchase a bike and if you never ridden remember "fast is not always good". I'm a 140lbs and I got a gsxr600, I kill others riders in the turns everyday plus I can do all the same b/s they can do. Get a motorcycle that is correct to your skill level 600, 750, or 1000. Don't just jump on a 1000 or 750cc bike if you've just got your liscense. Take it for what it's worth, but that's just my 2 cents!
(edit) Oh, and b.t.w. I had friends die too.

[Ilikebigbutts]

i don't think i'm ready to purchase a bike yet to tell yoiu the truth...maybe ypu are right ^^^, i should take driver's courses before i do...i think i'd like to get a 400 or something like that to start with. i've already dropped my cousin's 250 twice and was passenger on a 600 when we lost control and fell.none of my accidents where serious though.

[cpl hero]

The smallest respectable street bike that is made is a 600cc
(edit) But deffinately go to the course, it will benefit you soooo much.
