one of my friends was killed early this morning. he was in a bike accident that took his life. just wanted to remind everyone to watch out for bikes and if you ride, make sure to stay safe. you never know when it may be your time. my friend was only 26. his accident could have been avoided if he had not been acting up. he tried to pass on the shoulder at 100+ and lost control and hit a sign on the side of the road. it sucks to lose someone b/c of something that could have been avoided. we all do stupid things from time to time but next time you consider doing something, just remember what is at risk. hopefully this will make you think twice

Very sorry for your loss and an excellent reminder for not only us car/stang drivers, but to those motorcycle riders to be aware and safe on the roadways. Prayers to he, his family and close friends.

So sad to hear, I am sorry for your loss and I will keep his family, and friends in my prayers.

I hope I am not being too forward, but try to remember him as if he were still alive and has just moved away and someday you'll be having a beer with him again.

Using that is what helps me smile every day, after my cousin was KIA in Iraq, he was 22.
