Today a sweetheart and a friend of mine lost his life. Barry was a great guy and he always made everyone around him smile. He rode a brand new red Honda 600RR and this afternoon a truck cut him off when it made a left turn onto the road Barry was riding down in south St.Pete. He was only 19 years old. It is tragic when anything like this happens especially when it's someone you know and more so when it's a friend. Barry is missed by a lot of people. Be careful out there everyone......anything can happen especially with so many careless drivers out there.

 

Sorry about the loss... my boy junior was killed on his bike last year.... i know how it feels

 

sorry to hear about that! My thoughts go out to him and his family. RIDE SAFE GUYS!!

I just heard about barry a few days ago, we were close friends, without his help my car would have never ran...WE LOVE AND MISS YOU BARRY

 

sorry to hear about it

 

I rode with him a couple times and he knew some friends that were my friends. I first met him when I was in ybor and this person...not naming names but you know hwo you are knocked over a bike into his and busted his radiator. He tried to figure out what to do and who had a truck and how he would get it back. My friend knew him so I figured he couldn't be that bad of a person. What the hell.. I'll get my truck.. Ill be back in an hour or so I told him. I came back and picke dup his bike. ......Anyways. I talked to him everytime I seen him in ybor after that and almost always hada huge smile on his face. It saddens me to see such a person who always seemed soo full of life gone. He will be missed and despite my 12 hour night shift work schedule I will still ride my gixxer to the funeral, rain nor shine.

 

my cusion died on a dirt bike in 2001 he is still missed sorrey about your loss why do drivers have to be so careless?

 

I'm very sorry about this. Its very scary out there on bikes, never knowing what idiot is going to cut you off. I've came close a couple times getting hit on my ex-boyfriends bike.
