My best wishes go to the family of the deceased and to the companion rider who has to live with what happened. Accidents happen when they are least expected. And it doesn't have to be by carelessness.report abuse

Ignorance should not be posting about something they have no clue as to why this accident happened. Thye didn't have to be racing to rub tires. They could have been side by side talking when one or the other hit a bump which threw them into the other.

Seems like more and more on this forum, people comment on deaths as though the people are insignificant jerks. What goes around, comes around . . .report abusemayflower

We must be more compassionate of others . These 2 men , were both wearing helmets, and just trying to have a little fun. What a pity , one had to lose his life, even worse, at such a young age. No matter how careful one is, seems when our time has come, there's always an obstacle in the way , to cause our demise. Death may come to us, at any time in life. Who'd ever imagine, one would lose his life, when they set out.My prayers are with his loved ones, and friend as well..report abuseCJ CJ
