yeah, i think it's definately time to put 'em up. I'm to figure out some way to get her inside for the winter. Would like to do some work on her and it would be SO much easier to do in say, the living room. Too bad about the girl. I would rather go than have my passenger die, something you have to live with forever. Hopefully the SUV driver shows...have a feeling they had something to do with it.

Just curious what makes you think they had anything to do with it? I read that he lost control (for whatever reason, cold tires, to fast for conditions, inexperienced with passenger, etc.), crossed the center line, and swerved to avoid traffic that he shouldn't have been in, and crashed.
Can't always put blame on the cages!

Didn't the midget teach you anything woman. Motorcycles tires harden up and get less traction when it is cold. It takes longer for tires to warm up and still do not get to optimal temperatures for any substantial amount of grip on the cold roads.
Seems like tires were not the issue in this crash seeing as he crossed the yellow lines in a corner. Sounds mainly like lack of experience to me. Driver took the corner too hot and paniced.
RIP to the passenger.

I wrecked my bike about a month ago and I've really been eager to ride again. My bike has been at the dealership all this time waiting to see what the insurance company is going to do. After reading stories like this, It make me not want to ride anymore this season. Well after I found out today that my insurance company is going to total it I was pissed. Now I feel like ***** it!! I can wait until it's warm again and buy a new one.
Re: another rider !!!!!!!!!
That is a sad story..., way too young for this..., hopefully, for those of us that will ride until it snows, it's a little lesson NOT to get into the corners like we were in July, just too cold. Ride like newb in the corners, get home safe, and just be happy to be on 2 wheels...
