It is really truly a scary situation, For any of you riders, You can also be just as experienced at riding a bike like even he was. But you have no control over your life. You take chances everyday. So this could be you at anytime. Think what if the breaks go out, a rod goes out, anything can happen expectantly. So don't pretend that this happened all because of Keith..... It very well could have been because of him, but don't rule out other possibilities.

Don't turn this around people, anyone of us have tried to pass another vehicle. We were just lucky that no other vehicles came out of nowhere.
It could have easily happened to any of us on a random day. The worst part of it all is that he wasn't too far away from his destination.

I have honestly stumbled upon this forum by accident and what I saw has made me sick to my stomach.

Some of you people with so much anger towards this issue. I know both of the deceased. Most importantly I know the friends of both of them, I hand out with them on a fluent basis. And just looking at some of the messed up crap some of you have said just makes me angry and speechless.

What you haven't payed attention to is the fact that Keith has two children and the girl has 3 children. What you don't know is that the girls kids and parents were on a camping trip when this all happened. And now they have been notified just because they showed up yesterday. Keith was a great rider, for some reason unknown Keith felt he had a decent good distance to over take two vehicles.

To the kid that said "body parts were everywhere"! Stop being soo dramatic, just because you said that gives me more belief that your a drama queen/king. Her body parts were not decapitated in anyway, she snapped her neck on impact, and he was found mangled in a bush. They almost ruled it as a three person wreck until they found him.

But keep in mind, the only reason I'm posting in here, is to specifically set the damn record straight. And the families and friends are having a really really hard time with this right now.

My best-friend was just hanging out with the kids of the deceased last night, and they both have a daughter named Emma. My friend was in tears soo bad last night because the kids had absolutely NO clue what had just happened.

" STOP THINKING, THIS WON'T HAPPEN TO ME, I'm SMARTER THAN THAT "

I'm sure that was also going through his mind as well...

And for the record people... THAT message on Facebook......

IT was sent over two weeks prior to the incident. So don't place them together hand and hand and turn it into a negative thing.

Not withstanding the high speed, the double yellow line and other judgement issues.... wasn't there alcohol involved? I just want be absolutely sure because this makes a big difference in how I'd view it, not that he was "a good rider" in his judgement to pass in that spot, at that time and at that speed... WITH a passenger on his bike.

Sad all around.

If you are a driver, every passenger has placed their lives in your hands. Try to respect that.


If you are a passenger, you are placing your very own life, in the hands of the driver. Understand that.


Lesson over.

If you are on the road with other vehicles it is their life as well, they do not deserve being the object of your stupidity. Lesson: Ride responsible and Sane you will make it home alive and do no harm to others.

I am sending prayers to the families and the passenger of the truck fighting for her life. It is truely tragic children will not see their parents again.

"We the people give everyone the freedom of speech, And it seems some just go and abuse the right to have it."

I understand how you all can possibly look at this in such a negative way. I suppose without knowing for sure, everyone will be a bit lost as to what happened at that exact moment. I cannot state for the record that he was or wasn't on anything. He had a past history of enjoying life to its fullest.

As for the rest of the people, They stated speed was a factor, And Im almost positive it wasn't just on an account of his own actions. I am sure that the 2 that were injured were also going at a high rate of speed.

What I dislike the most about all of the responses from many of you. Is that you do not even know this person, and you are quick to judge him. Only because a cute girl was killed in the process. I see reckless people doing stupid stuff every day im out and about. Passing people in cars and trucks on narrow roads. I see people run red lights and yellow lights. I've had friends get struck on bicycles because the lack of attention drivers out on the road have. but ive been on that road several times. sometimes its hard to see someone coming in the opposite direction on that road. And if they were also traveling at a high rate of speed, then I'm sure his judgement could of been miscalculated. Also Alcohol could be another judgement factor. However, Toxicology records are not released. So no one knows yet.

I will state for the record. If I do find out that Alcohol played a roll in this as well.. My personal opinion will most definiately change.

All I am asking is that you people please respect the deceased. They both were taken from this earth, and all we can do is assume until further notice. So please for the sake of the friends and family close to all those involved in this incident near or far. Be respectful of what you say.

Just for the record, if I die doing something stupid on my motorcycle, please, I don't want anybody on this forum to come to my defense and try to absolve me of any responsibility. I am accountable for my own actions and behavior, thank you very much.
