Just need to share / talk
« on: September 28, 2007 - 03:01:22 PM »
This world we live in is full of  b@stards, and it seems "life" likes to kick the @ss of the best people.

Last Sunday a friend and his wife were on a lil cycle cruise. Some jerk in a car passes another car in a no passing zone on a curve. My friend swerves his Harly to miss the head on but can't keep from going over an embankment and into some trees. His wife is OK physically afer a couple days in the hospital. His funeral is tomorrow.

Neither car stopped either, happened on a little traveled county road around Zanesville, they will probably never find the b@stards. I sure would like to find them.

He and his wife just got back a few weeks ago, they spent two weeks on the bike going out to Colorado and made a few "side" tours out and back, not one problem or incident even on interstate travel with the trucks and such,........then this, about 50 mile from home. I'd like to sick Dog onto these asses. Sorry, I'm just full of hurt and bitterness right now. Thanks for your patience.

I am sorry to hear this as well. my mother works for HD and I hear these stories all too often. Its actually this fact that had me give my '71 Sportster project back to my father. Its not the rider usually, its the @ssholes out there not looking out. I couldnt imagine watching a significant other pass away.

Im certainly not a religious fellow, BUT If nothing happens to the "person" responsible lets put it this way, they have to live with this and one day answer to someone "upstairs." This may nt be any tyoe of closure but surely they've got it coming to them.

So sorry for your/your friends family's loss. We lost a really nice guy over at Mopanuts a couple of years ago in a similar tragedy. Just know we are all here for support.

How horrible.  I don't even know what to say.  I still can't understand how some people can be so cruel.  How could someone cause an accident like that and just keep going.  It makes me sick.  Your friends will be in my prayers. You and Pam too, of course.

I believe that what goes around, comes around.  The folks that caused this will get what's coming to them in due time.  I feel for the victim and his family that now must cope with this huge loss..   Stuff like this is why I sold my bike this spring.  Just not willing to take the risk anymore.......

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. Many times, things like this happen that just don't make any sense.

I used to have a really nice chopper, that one of my friends kept pestering me to sell to him. Finally, after a couple of years, I sold it to him. Two weeks later, he was killed on a country road by a drunk driver that was going home from a party.

You just never know.
