Stupid decision = Harsh Reality

[bobzinger]

Please pray for Jeremy Stoner's family. He lives just a couple blocks from me. He and a few of his buddies were on a ride together, the report is below. He is survived by a wife and his 4 year old daughter Kassidy. I remember when she was a baby he'd mow the lawn with her in a sling around his neck.

Terrible thing. It's a strong reminder to always think about what might happen because of a decision.

[cactusjack]

What's sad is, it was totally preventable. All it takes is one moment of poor judgment. Condolences to his family.

[jussmatt]

Sad news indeed!! Prayers and condolences to his family!!

Ride Safe Everybody!!

That is really bad news. I feel sorry for his family.

If we would all just learn to have a little patience. The amount of time we can gain my making an unsafe pass will probably all be lost when we catch up with the next vehicle. It just isn't worth it.

[blowndodge]

Holy sh*t....I keep my passing to a minimum because I'm not in that much of a hurry....

What a stinking bummer for his family....really sorry to hear this.

[dakals]

That is awful!!!!!! My prayers go out to you and his family and friends!!!!! I am so sorry!!!!

[audiogooroo]

Prayers sent for the family. Tragic.

Thats really to bad, we all make stupid mistakes once in a while, thats an awful price to pay for it.

That is harsh reality indeed.

Know when to relax that right wrist folks. It only takes one tiny moment of indiscretion when you're on a bike.

I was just talking to my neighbour a little while ago, he just returned from a week down south with a group of freinds. They had a house rented in Florida for the week and were riding the countryside on the way down. They did the tail of the dragon a few days ago, one of the guys crossed over the centre line and hit a truck head on. He's alive but broken up pretty good, has a broken back and some other bones as well. He has been in a hospital in Knoxville Tenn. My neighbour and another guy stayed with him, while the others continued to Florida. The fella says that he never wants to get on a bike again.

I know how he feels...(about never riding again)...i don't wanna do twistys AT ALL any more...just from breaking my wrist and a few (8) ribs going on a twisty road!

Hope everything turns out ok!!

I don't wanna sound too harsh, but maybe he had no business on one in the first place?

This business ain't for everyone.
