This is FARKED!!!!!!! :mad: As I said in Jono's report, I hate reading about fellow motorcyclists deaths. Keep vigilant on the roads aout there guys. The cages out there can cause us a world of grief, if one cuts you off or does something similar then make sure you openly let them and everyone else who can see know they farked up.

While riding it is better for us to be feared than be ignored :fact

Ride safe, ride within your abilities and always assume the worste case scenario with other drivers.

Yeah cages are azzholes!

Loud pipes save lives. The community should support after market pipes. If they cant see us, atleast they can hear us and know we are nearby. Their excuse is always, "I didnt see them, they came out of no where!". The real reason is "I didnt look hard enough!"

Its a damn shame to hear about anyone crashing a bike, let alone writing themselves off :( Just hope he died doing what he loved.
