Should Katman shut the fuck up?

[Maha]

Sorry Mom, your a doll usually.....but in this instance, I'll bite.

If he had come off into a Bulldozer - would then want to ban all bulldozers? Would you sue the construction company for putting a bulldozer, off, but next to the road?

We all make mistakes - I just pray that when we make them, we don't die because of them.

But we can't ride with training wheels.......in a bubble-wrapped world. Riding has risk, we should simply understand and avoid them.

Conditions/Rider/vehicle...the three components looked at closely by any SCU investigation....we know how he died, we also now know why he died.
Avoidable?... in this case yes it was.

Yes.... you've made your point Katman so shut the fuck up. Maybe pipe up (once) sometime next year if its so important to you..

Avoidable?... in this case yes it was.

And it's sad that it takes a coroner's report to convince so many of you of that.

To be fair, what we had were some garbled facts, a whole lot of speculation, and hope that it was not something that the rider did. Coupled with a general uneasiness about WRB.

I don't want to upset anyone, but I'd like to thank Katman for posting this - I hadn't been aware that it was available so after this post I read through the whole thing. I found it very sad reading about the death of a young man that was so full of life and enjoying riding bikes - but I think that understanding how something like this can happen does help others to think about their own choices.

I noticed that the only recommendation that the coroner had was that the authorities should look into whether there should be any regulations on the use of tinted visors at night. I would hope that most bikers wouldn't need regulations and would understand the need to see as well as possible when riding - but maybe there are some that need to be told, I don't know. There ARE regulations for cars as far as window tint goes, it would be good if bikers could do the sensible thing without needing regulations to tell them.

I'm sure that the friends and families of ANY person that dies in an accident would like for others to learn from that accident so that their friends & families aren't left suffering in the same way. In fact you do sometimes see these people on TV appealing to others to learn from the incident and not drink & drive or run from police or text while driving or whatever.

Could always have Katman Really Appreciates Publicity, or K.R.A.P for short

Or Katmans Unified Notification Team....I'll leave that one to you...

I said no by the way cos I've met him and I like him, but not in that 'special' way....

No, not bitter at all Steve, but thanks for asking.

I really, honestly think this thread is not your best work, and in my humble opinion, shows more about your insecurities than advances your cause, which for the most part everyone agrees with anyway.
