@DENIM:
Ecz my prayers go out to you and your friend
Thanks. Bonnie may be totaled, still waiting to hear after all this time, but I'm almost 100% now, just still sore in a couple spots. My buddy never made it out of the hospital. Sucks hard.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Dunno what to say but this is just too damn sad… Will the driver be prosecuted in any way because of this?..
No, since there were 2-3 conflicting witness accounts the cops basically said nobody was a fault and left it at that, but that was the report I got before my buddy died so once that happened it changes everything I was told. There will be a lawsuit, but I'm not part of it.
One last PSA before I leave this thread alone. If you ride, do NOT wear a Biltwell helmet. I have one and my buddy was wearing one in the crash. We all know they're not DOT, but it literally did nothing to save him in the crash where my old Davida pudding bowl did. Every crash is different but I know I'll never wear my Biltwell again. If he had been wearing any other 3/4 with more protection he would at least still be alive.Oh… and always wear your Ironhearts everytime you ride. You never know what will happen. PSA over.
If anyone here happens to live in Central Florida there will be a party in his name at Will's Pub April 10, this Sunday. It's your typical punk rock/indie bar. He wanted a party, not a funeral. Awesome dude.

ME TOO CHEERS!
what was his name?Jack Shea, there is a facebook page for his party fwiw. He would have liked this place and been a wearer if he hadnt had a family to support. He was a bobber kind of guy. Welded his own frames, worked on others bikes for free, spent all of his time with his daughter and her momma, spent his spare money on tats, custom bikes and going to fireman school this entire last year after he worked all day as a mechanic. Cool guy. He rode to sturgis And back from Orlando if that tells you how much he liked to ride. Sorry for being a downer but it is what it is.
