Sorry to hear about your friend. Any fatality in any accident is a shame.

Every time I see some "non-cager" riding down the yellow line, or popping-a-wheelie, or swerving thru traffic like it's a video game, I think it is a shame to rest of the bikers that these idiots cause a cager like me to not respect motorcycles enough. I know that is the wrong attitude to have, but I am only human. A large part of me just wants to open my door as these idiots pass betweeen my car and another... but, I don't want to hassle of getting my car fixed by their insurance company, and I don't want anyone hurt.

Non-cager/cager now thats something new.
Crotch rockets as alot of people refer to the sport bikes are riden by young kids mostly and as everything there are a few bad apples and as the old saying goes a few bad apples spoiles the rest of the bunch.
I have seen people reading books, talking on phones, text messaging, eating, and even changing cloths while driving cars/trucks in my years of driving cars, trucks and riding my bike. the point here isnt the type of vehicle but if you are operating it then do just that, OPERATE IT and leave the other stuff out.

Fla Native contact Real American Biker TV and a memorial can be displayed after one of our shows for your friend.

FlaNative, I'm so, so sorry to hear this! People are so freaking oblivious to motorcycles
it just makes me SICK! Every time I pull up beside one at a light, and "catch their eye", I male the motions of praying hands, and point from me to them. They always smile, nod, and mouth, "Thank you!" I pray for ALL bikers, even the little s#!8$ on those danged crotch rockets. I've told more than one of them,
after catching up with them riding wildly, "It's a good thing I'm not your Momma,
'cause I'd wear your fanny out right now!" I usually get an apology. My prayers will be with your friend's family, and with you! May The LORD wrap you in His arms, and comfort you with His love, and give you strength! God Bless!

Sorry for that loss... But I watch out more for bikes... but I hope he had a helmet. I scream at bikers not wearing a helmet... some accidents dont matter but most help. No helmet no sympathy.

Droopyz you go ahead and try that door crap on me and you'll find yourself quickly respecting a "non-cager" as you put it.

There are far more fools driving cars than there are driving bikes. Do you feel the need to buy a Hummer and kill them all by running them off the road?

Man such ignorance really irks me, and probably the other 99% of bikers out there who don't do any of the $*#* you threw out there.

Sorry for your lose FlaNative, and I'm sorry some folks don't have a clue and only make things worse.

In the past 2 years I've had to people I've known die from motorcycle accidents. I rode a bike when I was younger and I remember many a close call because people didn't see me. I got lucky, the worst I sustained was a broken ankle.

My prayers go out to your friends, family and friends, FlaNative. It's always tragic when something happens due to an accident that could have been avoided.

I'm sure your friend would have appreciated the post.
