sorry to hear this, quick story, there was a guy i graduated with in 06 that right before he graduated he bought a brand new yamaha r6. he started riding and getting better and better and then got into stunt riding etc. he came to the conclusion he lost respect for the bike and it was tie to sell before he got hurt or killed. he put the bike up for sale and a guy came and put money down on it and was going to transfer the title that saturday... saturday morning the guy got up jumped in his tahoe and it was out of gas so he said he will take the bike for a last ride before its gone to get a can of chew. well that was his last ride and his last everything. he stood the bike up on the back wheel and started grabbing gears like he always did and a conversion van pulled out in front of him. he hit the conversion van still on the back wheel at an estimated speed of 110mph.... needless to say i also had a 04 cbr 600 and its sold now.

I saw an accident like this before the bridge going to Praie Du Chien Wisconsin, on the way back you saw an elderly man laying face down on the ground with a pool of blood around his head. It was so sad they hadnt even covered him up yet. It was a very tragic thing. I have no problem with others who enjoy motorcycles but I think after seeing amny horror stories from people i know I will not be getting one.
