stunta down
Saturday november 9th my bestfriend-cousin-team mate Richard Scott White, also know as "Whitey" went riding on one of the last warm days we will probably have for the season. we had a habbit of going into town just to get fueled up, then we would head for the back roads where we could practice without causing a scene. We knew when we bought these bikes there was the chance we could be killed, but in reality we figured we would be visiting one another in the hospitol because of a stunt gone wrong, but just minor crap like road rash or a broken bone. Everyone who rides knows we have to watch out for these cages that dont look for bikes. I know most of us have had a close call with a cage, and it makes you think about it, and then we save it because we are "that good" at riding, so we think. Think about this, Whitey was a very good rider, he had most of the stunts that we practice locked down, he had several close calls due to cages. This one on 11-9-02 he couldnt save, a truck pulled off a side street into his lane, never seeing him coming, Whitey had no where to go except into the side of the truck, killing him instantly. Whitey leaves behind his girlfriend, two children lots of family and so many friends. I dont know if i will ride again, that will be determined when i decide to get the bike out next season and see what happens when i fire it up. All i ask is that everyone of you dont let your guard down, watch out for those cages.
