I'm not sure on the details, but the text messages are flying and I've had 3 reports that George from racers edge (he rides and races his R1) was in a tragic accident and is hospitalized, i have some reports that he might not make it, but no confirmations yet. I am not present at the hospital. He is at UMC.

I heard he was run over by a semi. Hearts out to his family! You hear about this stuff at least once a month, but when it finally happens to somebody you know, it really hits close to home. What's even scarier is around this same time a year ago (maybe even same day as George) a friend of mine was riding through Lake Mead and went off a ravine and was killed. Becareful out there!

I just got a message saying he didn't make it as well...  I think some of my messages might have come from SIN so check with those guys about any extra information.

right of way was not given, who cares about speed, everyone speeds. this is rediculous, 2 people in the past 2 months killed becuase some jack ass doesnt want to MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO ONCOMING VEHICLES. When are they going to crack down on these ignorants??? Hey if you need someone dead, just buy them a motorcycle, and pull infront of them!!! your off scott free!!! AMAZING!!!! RIP GEORGE IMA MISS YOU BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!! <3333

aw man.. a uhaul truck  not only does the family have to deal with thier tragic loss of a loved one... but Uhaul will drag it out as long as they can before paying a single dime in compensation.. costing the family money and more grief. I know this from personal experience. This is a very unfortunate accident in more ways than one. Is anyone setting up a paypal account or whatever so that everyone who wanted to help, could send something?

My wife recieved this email at her work on wed., just thought I'd pass it on. Subject: BE CAREFUL THIS HOLIDAY SEASON To all my friends just a little note - please do not respond to this memo... I've just been informed a VERY CLOSE friend of mine & my family (just like an adopted uncle - you know... one of those kinds of friends...) had just died last night in the ER. He was hit by a U-Haul truck running a red light. He was on his motorcycle & was hit hard enough to knock out the engine. I'm not looking for any kind of sympathy but want you all to be aware of the idiots on our streets. He wasn't in the wrong, he HAD a green light but the U-Haul driver thought he could run thru... Please, my friends, take the time to say goodbye to your friends or say hello when you pass because it may just be the last. I'm asking you do not respond to this email because it's hard enough with all that WE have to do with work & with our own lives, but just wanted to remind you to take time at those stop signs & traffic lights. You may feel rushed but i ask you to stop & think if rushing to get to your destination is really worth taking a life or even the possibility of losing one. Thanks for taking the time to read & note my little note. Thank You.
