Re: Rider Down I have put the word out in a couple of places but I have yet to hear back. If this is something that would be in line with the families wishes, I will organize it yes. At this time though, the family has asked for some privacy, which is totally understandable, so I will leave it...

Re: Rider Down I just heard about this and feel sickened. My deepest condolences to his friends and family. I have put in a word to a colleague of mine to see if we, as a organized group of riders, would be allowed, or welcomed, to attend the funeral services.

Does anyone know if Cutekill has picked out a campsite yet? If so...where exactly?

Sigh...today was especially difficult for me but it was a great day for Liz's final group ride. I was happy to see how many riders came out and I know scheduling was an issue for many who were unable to attend. Please stay tuned for details of her upcoming memorial event. It's very much in the...

Re: Highway 9 again... Greetings everyone, it has fallen to me to finally confirm that we have lost our dear friend Liz Metcalfe who was a mentor and inspiration to many. On June 12th at 4:20pm, she was returning home from attending the WROAR ride in Caledon. She was riding with a...

After three weeks? Not likely but really it doesn't matter to me. So long as justice is served as best as possible. I would think it more likely that if he was going to turn himself if in, he would have done so within 24hrs once the shock of what happened eases up a bit.

That would still be better than being convicted for 3-5 years and being out in 6-12 months.

Not sure where this was mentioned (another thread perhaps by either Turbo or Smoke) that if he is also charged with 'stunting', which in this case resulted in a death, he could be facing a life sentence.

Sarcasm? Yeah...it is about time he was caught. It would have been better had they caught him that night or if he turned himself in. It wasn't meant as a dig against the investigating police or the SIU. You're probably just too used to everyone around here being a cop hater.

It's about time.

Agreed but you need to look at the picture as a whole...not just in little squares. As one of the 'drivers', their involvement may have been unavoidable but overall...this incident, and every other one on our roads, is avoidable.

Hey Smoke...check your PM's and get back to me. Cheers.

Can we please stop using the word "accident". This was NO "accident". Here's my two cents on that issue... http://www.roadawareness.org/news/not-an-accident/
