Any of you guys know the dude that got killed this afternoon in Ashby? If so, my deepest sympahties.

Stay safe out there guys.

Oh no!

From what derilict and the EMT's that come into sheetz said he was going a little over 80mph through Ashby, swerved to miss a car, tank slapped a little, started to low side it, spun a 180 while going down and went body first into a car, his bike then followed and pinned him between his bike and the car. Our beer distributor was at the gas station at the top of the hill and tried to go help him but from what he said the guy was only breathing once about every fifteen or twenty seconds. He died shortly thereafter.

I can't verify any of this as it is all second/third hand, but it's what I heard.

what an awful way to go, and for what? to get to the red light at the top of the hill faster?

stay safe out there everyone

Yeah, that might be the dumbest shit i've ever heard. I feel worse for his family than I do for him.

**Mike** · 11-11-2006, 10:11 PM

fuckin a... tragic. i feel bad for the person he hit, they must feel like shit even though it wasn't their fault.

**G.Irish** · 11-12-2006, 12:44 PM

Aw man, hate like to hear shit like this. I hope he wasn't anybody one of us know. Just a reminder of how quickly it can get away from you. Does anyone know what he was riding?

**JustinG** · 11-12-2006, 01:08 PM

Some kinda Suxuki, according to the paper, but not clue on the specifics, from what i heard it was a black bike.

derilict · 11-12-2006, 05:26 PM

Once again, hearing things 2nd and 3rd hand isn't entirely accurate, but I was told he was riding a Katana. In addition, it's also now my understanding that he made a regular habit of this. I'm not about to bash the deceased, that's not cool; however, one can't expect to get away with riding like that for long. And again, this is all speculation, so take it for what you will.

A black Katana...I think this may of been the guy I see every day on campus, always tearing it up and riding aggresively around my dorm...we'll see if I see him tomorrow

Same person?????

Seems like DNR got his name wrong. Its Bruce Staton and not Staton Myers as DNR specifies.

*assuming* that he was regularly an asshat, i have zero sympathy for him and it is an extreme case of what goes wrong when you drive/ride like an asshole which is why MM never condones such actions. now if this was just an unfortunate accident, then my condolences to his family.

be careful out there guys

.RJ · 11-13-2006, 07:58 PM

I'm convinced that most bike related accidents (like 90%, mine included) are due to being an asshat in some capacity.

Feersty · 11-13-2006, 08:07 PM

Yeah it is very sad that this happened, but his friend going on Honda-Tech and saying that a car made impact with him really pisses me off. But I guess it is not my place. Your friend was going 80mph in a 25mph and he is only one to blame.

I wouldnt feel bad one bit. In fact Id be pissed that my car is damaged and the (former) worlds biggest assmonkey wont be able to pay up.

**Mike** · 11-13-2006, 11:02 PM

you wouldn't feel bad, but your typical college-aged female would.

**JustinG** · 11-13-2006, 11:08 PM

yea shes probably hating herself right now and has no reason to.

derilict · 11-14-2006, 12:21 AM

Yeah, actually she is. Turns out one of the girls in my class (who was afraid it might have been me, but whatever) is good friends with the girl that he ran in to. She said she's been a wreck, no pun intended. Yes, I'm sorry he passed, senseless death is just that, senseless. However, it's not hard to fathom why people have a negative connotation attached to motorcylists, especially sportbikes, when shit like this happens.
