I should get some more details in the next couple of days so I will post up later.

i WOULD CONSIDER IT IF IT WAS SOME OF THESE PEOPLE. tHAT rIDER GUY IS SHADY!

That's terrible thoughts and prayers to that guy and his family.

Wow...hate it for that guy. Cool of you to stop and at least...be there. Does sound fishy that IF he was really riding with a group that they just left him so yes it sounds like maybe they were drinking...geez.

Mr Lefty · 04-06-2010, 02:16 PM

Damn... if he was left... fuck those guys...

I will ALWAYS stop if I see a biker stopped... even if (most of the time) they're just taking a piss or reading a map)

thanks for stopping... keep in touch with the guy... sounds like the guy needs some positive biker friends

Good for you guys for stopping to help. I always try to stop if I see a biker on the side of the road, thankfully I have never come across a moto accident, that didn't already have emergency personnel.

I had a similar incident happen right in front of me last thrusday.
17 year old girl turned left in front of a dude on a Triumph bonneville.

He was luckier, he only suffered some rash and a broken thumb.

I stuck around as a witness, and an off duty cop blocked traffic for him.

The latest update is this:

The guy was going to have his foot and leg operated on, but had a heart attack, and is not stable enough to be put under. Its not looking good at this point.

Wow. Terrible news.

That sucks for the guy. And that's why I rarely ride my bike south of Cartersville, just too much traffic the closer you get to ATL. I like to go north and get farther out in the country,

well let's hope dude pulls through... sad it has to go this far... but maybe his situation will enlighten a few riders to the hazards of drinking and riding and not looking out for your buddies... (if that's what happened... still speculation right?)
