sux, I saw the firetruck pullin up when I was doin ot.
-
whatta terrible way to end a life.
thoughts are with the family. must be awful to lose someone that young.
-
that is awful, I met the guy acouple times when he came through the taco bell drive through and saw all the emergency vehicles take off that day. Just wow, my prayers go out to his family and friends.

Also, my thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. I didn't know him, but I think I'd seen him around before.

It does indeed suck that someone so young died, especially with a kid that has to grow up without a Dad now.
With skull fractures that 97cav mentioned I'd assume this meant he wasn't wearing a helmet.
Hopefully (altho doubtful) that this puts all the bike guys out there on alert that you need to wear a helmet riding around town. I know this makes me sound like a old guy (and I am) but I've been riding/racing motorcycles for over 20 years, and a helmet has saved my life at least 2 different times that I can think of (once where I crashed on my own and the bike landed on my head). It doesn't matter that a helmet doesn't make you look cool and it messes up your hair. It will keep your melon intact when you crash and that is all that matters.DaveH

A reality check indeed you can still pick up women wearing a helmet,ive never rode without one -
No disrespect intended, but someone who dies after weaving in and out of traffic, while speeding, while not wearing proper gear, does not make me want to wear a helmet any more than before. I usually do not wear a helmet on the street. I also don't ride beyond my skill level. It is unforunate, but comparable to not wearing you seatbelt.
BTW, all of the above mentioned factors, were from a first hand account from one of the drivers he had passed.
Rest In Peace Dan

I think your missing the point...
Point being, no matter how good of a rider you are, accidents happen, and it would be the smart thing to wear a helmet.
You can't deny the fact, that they save countless numbers of lives, and that accidents can and will happen. You can't control other drivers on the road....
I'm sure that his family would have pefered him to be wearing a helmet, and be alive...

Agreed, you never can control your surroundings, no matter what your skill level is. -
I agree with everybody aabout how he should have been wearing a helmet, no one knows whats going to happen out on the streets. There are some really crappy drivers out there, and lots dont even notice motorcycles. Personally you could be the best biker out there and have been racing super bikes for years, and i would still wear a helmet on the streets just because of other drivers.

I just got off the phone with a friend who saw him in the hospital. He said Dan's head had swollen up 5x its nornal size (his words) and blood was gushing from his ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. Other than that he just had a broken right arm, leg, and wrist. I guess his family flew up from texas and I should be getting funeral info soon.
