You might want to edit your post dude. Cops don't take street racing lightly....especially when it involves one of the parties ending up dead.

Your buddy "B" could possibly end up serving some serious jailtime if the cops got wind of it.

Ya Ryan, thanks for the information. I just got off the phone with "B" - finally able to get in touch with him.

I remember you from when I worked there. You were one of our first supporters and came in every weekend. You and his brother Dustin were very close. I was the blond kid behind the bar with Larry at all times... You may remember me, may not. I quit a few weeks ago.

From what "B" (thanks ^^^) said on the phone, he and Larry were going downtown to have some fun to get the stress off of their backs from work as it was slammed... they were going to wake the bums. Each light they took off and stuff. Apparently, the last thing Larry said was "What is that terrible music youre listening to?"... light turned green, he took off.

"B" says it looked as if he were looking straight in front of him instead of where he should have been turning (as said above), which caused him to highside off the bike. Suffered many broken bones, including neck, back, legs for sure... "B" said all he can remember is Larry was like a shell - just sat there while blood was rushing from his helmet.

RIP again. I will most likely be out to Cheap tonight.

Yeah for buddy B's sake, edit that...

Its a shame cops have to fuckin suck. Thats the way of the world. unfortunatly, if something can fuck you up worse, the cops find a way.

RIP to the rider, i just lost a buddy a week or so ago, i know how you feel. Stay strong bro.

you guys probably knows this already but that part of kennedy isn't really for speeding cause theres lights, brick roads and bumby road ,not to mention sharp turn blind sight and theres aren't any trees around to protect u incase anything happen.
