Yeeeeaaa.... 120+ on a highway where people are normally driving anywhere between 60-80ish... can't say anything good to justify that. People in cars aren't going to have a whole lot of time to react to a 120+mph speeding bike. Some moron drivers don't even check blindspots anyway- let alone fully examine whats going on behind them. Tragedy like this sucks, but your odds at survival on the streets are pretty slim if you're going to make an insanely risky decision like this guy.

As far as chasing another rider, they teach you about this sort of thing in the MRA/MSF school. This is a textbook example of the kind of tragedy that can happen when one rider, new or experienced, is trying to catch up to someone else in traffic. Would you rather pull over, call the guy and have him meet you somewhere or become a mangled dead body on the side of 275? Ride smart, people. RIP to the rider.

Same shit different week. Its always the same argument in here.

Regardless, the guy was at fault, and fatally injured himself. Everyone in here is so bi-polar, if someone they dont know does something like this, they knock them and call them reckless yada yada yada. But the instant that its someone you know people are like oh man have respect he was a great rider and always responsible ect. Well with all do respect it takes one responsible mother fucker to split lanes at 120-140.

And as for the cager that got injured by what im assuming is a pissed off friend kicking the shit out of him, thats just fucking retarded. Lets beat the shit out of a guy that had no control over a situation because some fucktard rear ends HIM. Great call guys, way to taint the motorcyclist community reputation even more.

I was thinking the same thing. He paid dearly enough for his mistake, no need to rub it in to those that could be grieving. Lastly, I'm surprised I agree with you on something

Sounds like a great group of riders you got there..........

That's why I stopped riding with all the punk-ass kids thesedays that kill themselves of public roads. Also why I got a CWP.

While driving home from clearwater beach last night, I witnessed more ass-clowns on sportbikes than I could count. I no longer wonder why lawmakers have been so overbearing.

RIP to Terrance. We all do dumb shit and I assume this was one of those moments. For a change the article didn't say he was wearing shorts and a backwards ball cap.

This isn't Terrance that used to have the silver SRT-4 that lives in New Tampa is it?

u act like a crazy situation never made u act without thinking..so i will leave it at that..

also they are not some punk kids...as a matter of fact Terrance at 22 was like a baby in the group to be honest....and they are a great group of riders...when Lil Q died a few months ago, i watched this group ban together to raise money for his wife and daughter, then set up a bank acount so they can donate money to the family randomly without having to take credit for it..yes, this is a great group of riders...

i'm not going to say that what happened was anybody's fault but Terrances, nor will the people that were riding with him on saturday night. but let's be honest, we have all done high speed runs on a saturday night at least once, and incidents like this are the reason why those who are talking shit are doing just that. He made a horible choice in judgement, and payed with his life...let's move on, there is no need to hate the man for that.
