queen bodecia Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Nooooooooooo!!!!That's terrible. I met him when I met Joey. Can't believe he's gone too. Plus there was big DJ. Much as I love road racing, it does seem to be a one way ticket... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evs7 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I know there will be a lot of people claiming that road racing isn't safe and there will probably be people looking to stop it. But from what I've read on both accidents both we're technical issues with the bikes.It's clearly another terrible day for the sport and my deepest sympathy goes to his family.
