Keep your god damned phones in your ****ing pockets while you drive
Lost a friend yesterday because some stupid kid was texting and lost control of her car, went across the highway, and caused my friend to put his bike down.
He lost his life because of you Keonna Whiters of Wichita. I know it was not your intention to cause this good man to lose his life... but **** you none the less. I hope the DA charges you with Vehicular Manslaughter at the very least. http://www.kake.com/news/headlines/M...129315583.html RIP Dwight "Slyder" Pierce - B.A.C.A |

Texting or dialing a cell phone while driving is no different than driving drunk.

The problem with riding motorcycles is that you can die when you blow a tire, or when a squirrel runs in front of you etc. Part of the attraction to it is the risk and the openness of it. There are many things that can cause you to go down. A good rider is hyper aware of what everyone around him is going to do so that he can be proactive to avoid it. But one cannot predict everything, things happen, that's part of why some people wear more gear than others. They enjoy the experience but they want to protect against the unforeseen. Some people don't like the look or the feel of the gear and that is their choice not to wear it. BUT when you don't wear it your margin of safety goes way down if something does happen.

Sorry to hear about your friend. I was curious what the sentence would be for "Vehicular Manslaughter" in Kansas, so I looked around. Sounds like a stiff fine and four years probation.
Really amazing to see the wide range of how different states handle the crime. Iowa has a Mandatory 25 year sentence! Pretty brutal for something that is accidental. Nevada is 25 years to life. Most states are 1 year or less. http://www.criminaldefenselawyer.com...nslaughter.htm |

sorry to hear dude. RIP.
I sold my RR in March, and hate hearing these things. I rode all gear, all the time. Went down in '03 about 50mph; bruise ribs, and broken bone in my hand, but nothing much more than that. although, I had a dime sized chunk missing from the back of my helmet - would definitely be dead had I not been wearing it. Although...I'd love to have a DRZ-400SM; kept all my gear for possible future bike. |

I'm sorry for your loss, but statistically speaking, helmets save lives. In light of how inattentive drivers are these days, it's especially foolish not to wear one, despite being legally permitted not to.

Unfortunately, people will still text and drive. I hate it. I don't even change a CD when I am moving. I'm old school; I still have CDs. I'm sorry about your friend and send prayers to the grieving.

A few months ago here in PHX a couple was killed by a kid who was texting while driving...and they were walking on the sidewalk...these idiots can kill you no matter where you are.

Both of them were stupid as **** for what they did. Sad that one of them had to die because of it though.
