RedRider Posted September 25, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 25, 2012 Saw on the news there was an accident involving a 50 year old riding an '83 Yamaha on the south side of Milwaukee (and no, he wasn't wearing a helmet - it doesn't look good for the rider). Hope it wasn't any of us. Anybody have an update? RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebrrg3rd Posted September 25, 2012 Share #2 Posted September 25, 2012 It wasn't me. Here's the article. He didn't make it. http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/motorcyclist-50-dies-in-crash-on-south-side-6l7083t-171147211.html From the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinal: Motorcyclist, 50, dies in crash on south side "A 50-year-old man died Monday evening after he crashed his motorcycle on W. Oaklahoma Ave. near S. 5th St., Milwaukee police said. The driver, who was not wearing a helmet, lost control of his 1983 Yamaha, hit a median and was thrown, hitting a pole, police said. The motorcyclist was taken to Froedtert Hospital where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday. His name was not released." I go by that spot twice a day, to and from work. -Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted September 25, 2012 Share #3 Posted September 25, 2012 It wasn't me either. I'm older than that, and my bike is younger than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV1100SE Posted September 25, 2012 Share #4 Posted September 25, 2012 ...The driver, who was not wearing a helmet, lost control of his 1983 Yamaha, hit a median and was thrown, hitting a pole, police said.... Hate hearing about any biker that has an accident. So we don't get into a helmet discussion.... whether or not he was wearing a helmet in this case doesn't matter. Being thrown into a pole... as they say, its the sudden stop that kills you. Ride safe everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
