My girlfriends, friend died yesterday in an accident at Blundell and 2 Road by a "sports car" coming out of mcdonalds doing a left turn at a right turn only exit Flew 15 feet, cracked her ribs and bled internally to death.
Bikes are scary, she wasn't even going fast... but i wish i knew the @sshole who thought he was good enough to do a left turn on a clearly marked right only exit

 

Sorry to hear that dude, that sucks . An acquaintance of mine died a few weeks back in Burnaby near BCIT...there was some debris on the road, enough to send his 900 into a tree. His friends were the first on the scene and tried CPR to recover him...no luck .

I've always wanted a bike but know that I'd probably kill myself on one.

 

sorry to hear about your friend
had a bike for one summer sold the next its just not safe out there,some people out there will just cut you off its scary

 

the car that hit the girl was a camaro

 

Admittedly, I made many left hand turns from a right hand turn only lane... but I think it is probably safer in some lanes than others. If you don't have clear visibility, you just don't do it. Naturally, you shouldn't do it at all, but sometimes the temptation of a short cut is too much.

Sorry to hear about the loss. Stupid wasteful actions like that shouldn't happen to anyone.

 

Sorry to hear that. Was the driver of the car caught or did they flee?

 

The driver was a 46yr male with a red camaro....he did not flee

 

Yea at least the guy did the right thing after... My bro bought a pretty fast bike not long ago, hes got all the protective gear and that, but he keeps tellin me how people out there just dont see bikers.. and way too many people dont shoulder check anymore.

 

Sorry to hear that.
How old was she????

 

I think she was 23. Well 22 or 23.

 

It makes me sad to hear that.

 

i bought an 02 cbr f4i 600 just before the winter.. i sold it after the winter. my entire family didn't want me to have it. they are scary. i've witnessed a couple bad accidents on street bikes. not cool.

sorry to hear your loss. may she rest in peace.

 

Boy sounds like the bike my brother bought, i think he got it from east van or burnaby (im guessing) and its purple and i think he bought it for 8 k... you wouldnt happen to be the seller would you? lol
