There have been too many riders dying around here lately. http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news%2Flocal&id=8318534 (Message edited by pmjolly on August 25, 2011)   Jcjohnson33 Posted on Thursday, August 25, 2011 - 10:29 pm:        It is unfortunate. I was born and raised there in Houston. Now I live in Cali. But why does the media always assume by saying " the bike was speeding down the road and weaving in and out of traffic"? But it s tragic. But if the bike rear ended the car why does the front of the bike appear ok minus the flat tire but the rear subsection is missing?   1_mike Posted on Friday, August 26, 2011 - 12:41 pm:        The front of the bike looks fine... The tire doesn't appear flat when you look at what's hidden by the curb. The "flat" goes all the way to the rim of the wheel. A flat...wouldn't be that "flat" with the tire still on the wheel..! Looks more like a right side, "side swipe", being that the left side pod, and front end look fine. Mike   D_adams Posted on Friday, August 26, 2011 - 12:50 pm:        Almost looks like the bike got rear ended and ripped the subframe off the bike... makes you wonder why the car driver took off?   Sl33py Posted on Friday, August 26, 2011 - 01:11 pm:        Sad to see it... also looks more like a side swipe or rear end than he hit the back of some sedan.   Hootowl Posted on Friday, August 26, 2011 - 05:59 pm:        Man, that's close to home. Only a few miles from the house.   Philp Posted on Saturday, August 27, 2011 - 01:34 am:        "Investigators say the car left the scene for unknown reasons. " I can guess the reason: drunk, high or deliberate,all of the above or some combination. That said, I agree with others' observations here - it looks like the rear sustained the damage; more like he was rear ended rather than rear ending someone. This isn't that far from where I live. Very sad.   Rigid_frame Posted on Saturday, August 27, 2011 - 05:18 pm:        i worked with the poor kid he was only 19 or 20 i think. he had a r6 when he worked here and got the 1125r after seeing mine. he was a very respectful kid.   Boogiman1981 Posted on Monday, August 29, 2011 - 07:51 am:        sucks   Doogiehiser Posted on Monday, August 29, 2011 - 08:16 am:        Im no detective or anything but after looking at that pic wouldnt you think he was rear ended? Also the comments the idiots make. makes you want to slap the hell out of some of them. ••••••• people have no respect or even common courtesy. Prayers go out to this kid his family and friends.   Sl33py Posted on Monday, August 29, 2011 - 04:32 pm:        any more info on what happened? And did they catch the POS that took off?
