ill never understand that... Watching someone go down and then you take off. You have got to be the biggest dick ever to do something like that!

This is the second time i have heard of this.... and i saw a guy go down and die right in front of me (i didnt know him) and his friend gets off his bike, looks at him and then takes off. And yes they were racing.

RIP

don't get that either...if the cops didn't see him "racing", they can't prove it. Not sure if they were "friends" or not, but how could someone do that, especially if he did walk over to him???

sounds weird to me to, but there were afew other bikes that stopped with him and stayed there till the cops showed up. I stayed there also and asked the cop if they need any help or a witness. Then i went to work.

I was supposed to be riding with them tonight , But i didnt go , My friend called me about the what happened... His name is George.. It was his busa.. and from what my friends told me that were there at the exact time of the accident , They WERE racing , no details were said about for money or what not , but they were doing something stupid and the stupidity cost some one there life.. I knew this guy , I had ridden with him a few times ,Stupid or not , he was a decent guy who made a shity decision , so any bashing comments on this thread need to be kept to them selves...

They don't make a bike fast enough to outrun the fact that you helped get someone killed and then fled the scene. I'm sure that the Gixxer rider has got to be realizing that about now. Crappy situation, easily avoided, what a waste.

From TBO.com:
TAMPA - One man was killed and another was being sought Sunday night after two motorcycles crashed into a car.

George Esparza, 43, and another motorcyclist were speeding north on Dale Mabry Highway near Waters Avenue about 5:45 p.m. when a car turned into Esparza's path, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

Esparza, of 14807 N. 30th St., was pronounced dead at the scene.

The other biker skidded on the ground but picked up his bike and rode off. He may have been riding a silver or gray Suzuki GSXR, the patrol said.

The car's driver, Mary Rush, 75, of 1505 N. Habana Ave., and her passenger, Josephine Slavinski, 80, were taken to St. Joseph's Hospital with minor injuries, the patrol said. Rush's 1998 Ford Taurus was totaled.
