RIP Crashdummy

Mike Shinn aka Crashdummy passed away this morning when he wrecked on his R6. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years back when he was still living out west. I know some of you knew him too, he was a great guy and will be missed.

That does suck. I tried to convince him to get rid of it a few times. I've had to bury way too many friends due to bikes. I almost got killed on my CBR. RIP bro....

RIP, Micheal Shinn. I never knew the guy or ever spoke to him on the forum, but I definitely know what it's like to lose a close friend on the forum (Guitarjunkie28). My condolences to his friends and family.

Yeah i said it in the other thread too, but RIP again man.

There was a 24 year old that died on his bike about 3 weeks ago in my town. Some guy clipped him while the bike was going 40mph. He got thrown off his bike and his body went through the rear windshield of a parked escalade. His throat was slit in half and people tried to pull his helmet off which they say made the situation worse. He made it to the hospital but about 4 hours later that night he died

Crazy thing is the guy who hit the bike was my very next door neighbor

Its a crazy world out there, one minute you're here, the next you're gone.
