So this kid I knew from college died last night on a Yamaha R6.. he was only 19. it sucks and all but it was his own fault. Just read the article. I never liked the kid because he was always trying to fuck my girlfriend at the time, (now ex). But now that he's dead.. I can't help but feel sorry for him..
He was trying to do a wheelie in front of the local starbucks, (where all the bikers hang out back in Odessa,) and lost control, flying off, he hit a fire hydrant which ripped off his helmet causing his brain to hemorrhage and swell.
There have been 2 motorcycle-related deaths in Odessa in a week.. the first was some guy that my mom was friends with. But the latest one was no one's fault but his own.
He only had his bike for 2 days. So take note, don't buy a bike and try doing wheelies before you even know how to ride it correctly.
