Default A friend went down

A friend of mine went for a ride on the back of a bike and only put on a dome helmet which was probably the driver helmet. She said she felt the back of the bike fish tailing around 30mph and the bike went down. She is ok and getting better and she said she will never get on a bike again. From look at the photos her hair looks ok but her face, that another story. I told her to post one of her photos on ride2die.com. When she was on sport bike she always had a full helmet on but a Harley I guess it was not cool.

Best wishes, hope this persons recovery is speedy.

Let this be a reminder to those who think "Yeah but, I feel & look better without said safety gear".

Form should never take place over function.

Lamb is getting sick and tired of the ignorance displayed by riders. The ground hurts when you hit it. This is little consolation to the beautiful girl pictured in the first photo. Speedy recovery and thanks for the reminder to always wear you gear, all of it.

I went down a couple weeks ago and my road rash is just bout gone. I always wear a full face helmet and it saved my head and head it took some damage but for the most part my gear saved my back and chest the shirt i wore was all messed up so the vest i had on protected me anyway I hope she gets well soon and the road rash on her face will heal she will be fine I hope she gets well soon

Pass on my wishes for a speedy recovery to her for me.

Was she on morphine when you asked her to take the pictures? Most women I know wouldn't let me take their pictures if their hair was messed up let alone after an accident like that.

it is the person controlling the bike that is the hazard... you see guys get some pretty girl on the back and his ego goes through the roof and proceeds to get people hurt... Fool + Bike = bad outcome, this is a bike riders forum... I know you lost a kid to a bike crash, but ultimately, it was not the bikes fault..

I feel sorry for people that are victimized by riders that make lousy choices....
