Another rider down...

Yesterday, a friend of mine, Rob, got hit by a car who was not paying attention, and was only concerned with obviously getting to target as fast as possible. Rob was killed. I have been out with Rob several times, and he was always a safe rider. It is very unfortunate.

RIP buddy, you will be missed.

Guys name was Robert Schwind. He was my best friend. The lady was turning left into target and she either didn't see him or didn't feel like waiting. Died on scene. Good, experienced rider... he's been dirt bikes since he was four. Got this bike about 3 months ago.

Please, everyone, consider things like this when you're choosing to race or be stupid on the streets. Something can happen, and will affect some people very greatly. Please drive safe. Riders, please ride safe.

Sorry to hear that. She must have hit him pretty good if he died on the scene. Typically you think when you are pulling into a parking lot you are going fairly slow. (Unless he was hauling)

thats terrible...

The article says that they are still trying to determine who is at fault... is there any update on this? From what you said it sounds like the car was at fault. Is that quote from someone that actually saw it happen?

Celtic1982citleC is an unknown quantity at this point

If failure to yield is the best they can come up with for what should be considered involuntary vehicular manslaughter then that just shows you how far gone our legal system really is.

a vehicular manslaughter charge would be more appropriate.
