Title: Re: my dollar says this is a marine... Post by: MadDuck on June 04, 2008, 09:08:50 PM I hope the guy ends up OK in any case. You do have to wonder about don't you? New rider and new bike or just new bike? I would bet on speed being a factor here.
Title: Re: my dollar says this is a marine... Post by: teddy037.2 on June 04, 2008, 09:12:01 PM I'd reckon new rider+bike...
I hope he's ok, as well... sucks to hear about bike fatalities. and that includes cases where they were the obvious asshat, and darwin took over. Title: Re: my dollar says this is a marine...

I would bet on speed being a factor here. I would take that bet because i always lose when i gamble Title: Re: my dollar says this is a marine...

Speaking of which, how's your "friend" who ran into the pedestrians doing? Title: Re: my dollar says this is a marine... Post by: teddy037.2 on June 05, 2008, 01:19:19 PM he's been loaned out to an outside shop since getting back. that's all I've heard so far.
the rumor mill has him one foot out the door, which is entirely possible, but I don't like spreading rumors. Title: Re: my dollar says this is a marine... Post by: MadDuck on June 05, 2008, 02:45:46 PM So, basically, he's healed up at this point?
Title: Re: my dollar says this is a marine... Post by: teddy037.2 on June 05, 2008, 05:58:33 PM he coud be on light duty, which would mean no.
but like I said, I haven't heard much in confirmed news, so... I won't be the one to speculate. Title: Re: my dollar says this is a marine... Post by: MadDuck on June 05, 2008, 10:07:42 PM Picture in the paper today looked like it was an SV1000S. I kind of like those bikes.

I fig'd it wasn't a crotch rocket. because I have noticed that (unfairness is debatable) every time it's sport bike, they tend to mention the make/model. Title: Re: my dollar says this is a marine...

Dunno about that. When that guy (and girl on the back) dove under that parked van in Kahala a few months back they always mentioned it was a Harley. Title: Re: my dollar says this is a marine...

That's cause if they just said motorcycle there would have been riots. That moron wasn't on just any bike, he was on Harley Davidson! Recognize! |
