Sad day here in Lincoln...

[RoninK6]

Yesterday we lost another motorcyclist here in Lincoln . He was going around somer curves on an overpass near downtown when his Yamaha failed to negotiate one of them, crashed into the cement all, flew over the edge and fell to his death a couple of stories below. First off, if crashing isn't a bummer, then you have to fall to your death . Here's hoping that he was already knocked out cold when he went over the sidewall but somehow I doubt it. Only 19, such a waste ...

At first the police though tit might have been a hit and run because his motorcycle was still on the overpass, but ended up not being. Here's a couple of links to the local TV station coverage about it:.....

OMG,Ronin, I am shocked to hear this. Was the biker HuskerzGBR? It looked like his photo from the video report. There is an organization that helps downed bikers, and it is at: http://www.downedbikers.com . I wonder if they can put together a ride for him. I was wondering why I have not heard from him in a while. If it is HuskerzGBR, we should organize a memorial ride for him as a motovlogging community. What do you all think?? I think it would be a great honor to his memory and family to do this, and do this every year if it is possible.

Hey Renegade ... luckily it wasn't HuskerzGBR, it was a kid from Seward, NE (still not lucky for the kid, though ...). A ride would be cool, but according to the newspaper, he was in a motorcycle club that supports a motorcycle club (Ravens Motorcycle Club / Tribesmen Motorcycle Club). It sounds like more than 40 or so of those members were below the overpass yesterday grieving... so he might already have a memorial-type ride coming up, not sure .

I try to avoid those riding clubs the way it is ~_~ ~

...so I'll have to watch the paper to see when his funeral is and what will be going on. Thanks for the suggestion ^_^ ! Feel sorry for the kid ~.....

O o.k. Well that is good, it was not HuskerzGBR. I will check into that motorcycle club. I think their website is at: http://tribesmenmc.org/Menu.shtml . I was once part of BACA, or Bikers Against Child Abuse and Patriot Guard and also Rolling Thunder.
I do not blame you for not being in a motorcycle club. You are welcome for the suggestion. Yeah it has to be hard for his family and friends right now. Let me know what you find out. I feel sorry for the kid and his family as well.
