RIP

No word on what type of bike it was but hiting a tractor trailer head on is not pretty

 

Yes indeed... rest in peace.

 

RIP.

 

R.I.P. Luc Bourdon

So sad, seemed like he had accomplished a lot and still had much more potential.

 

I really hate how most of these stories never tell what type of bike it was, not that it matters but I'm always curious.

A friend's reaction

he was a hero in my city, winnipeg, so this was all over the front pages of the papers. it really is tragic but as i was reading i had to shake my head, this is the quote from the Winnipeg Sun

"On Friday, RCMP investigators said Bourdon's inexperience on the sleek, speedy machine - a Suzuki GSX-R1000 - may have played a role in the crash."

It MAY have played a role? no, i think that was THE reason that it happened. really wish this kind of thing could be prevented I think its the reason im paying 3500$ for insurance a year.
