life is way too short...

just lost a childhood friend today do to a reckless motorcycle accident. its still so shocking to me. he moved into the house next to me from texas when i was 5 me and my brother were his first friends. he was one of those people know matter what your doing together it was fun and every thing he tried to do he was great at. we started playing little league and he was the only kid blasting homers, he then picked up a bmx bike and it was a wrap since then he was so good doing back flips/flares at trails he was pretty much a pro but was never signed he was a legend in south jersey you could go a few towns over and people knew who he was. we kind of drifted apart as we got older but the love was always there i ran into him a week ago coming out of the store and never though it would be the last time i saw him. truly a inspiration to everyone he met with a smile that would light up the room r.i.p bobo 27 years old leaving 2 young sons behind. i know your up there getting your adrenaline fix :frown:

RIP, sorry for your loss.

I'd shoot heroin before I rode a motorcycle. Similar danger threshold, and I gather the high is better in the former.

I believe you are correct, life is too short.
I hope that by posting your experience here, others will keep close to heart to live each day to the fullest. May you find peace as your friend has.

I'm sorry for your loss, and I agree life is short that's why you have to enjoy every day you wake up. Wish the best for you and all the grieving parties.

RIP BOBO....sorry for your loss man. i had a good friend who rode daily, he died when he was 24. when i got the call he died i was sure it was from a motorcycle accident, but he ended up having an aortic anuerysm..


ive always wanted to ride but i had to view motorcycle accident aftermath pictures and "red pavement" for my alcohol counseling as a young teen...shit kinda rubbed off, never got into riding since then.

I lost my 2 best friends relatively recently due to pharmaceuticals and/or alcohol, so I honestly know what you're going though man. I'm sorry.
