One of the trickiest pieces of roadway anywhere. To get out of downtown T.O try going up the Jarvis ramp, even in a car, and then merge with traffic while negotiating two curves before hitting the DVP ramp on your left. Now add a couple of really crappy road patches. RIP Jason. My condolences to his family.
All winter I wondered if those potholes/crappy patches would result in tragedy.
RIP rider. Too early for this stuff again.
Remember folks it might be fun to rip it up after a long winter layoff but the roads change over the winter and the potholes are much worse.

Hey all,
I'm not a rider but Jason was family and I wanted to share some information - a couple of people have been asking for details and I wanted to share what I do know.
Jay was with 1 other rider on their way back home to pick up a car (just got UFC tix for that night) when 3 other riders came up from behind and one of them cut him off causing this to happen. The police have said witnesses came forward (plus cameras) and this is what they have told us was the cause. Who knows if the roads were also a factor, I've been on that stretch of the Gardiner a thousand times and in my car I hate it but it is impossible to say. Jason was an incredible person who deeply loved life. He touched so many people and had friends that were far reaching. Jason's funeral had over 500 people and I know a couple of his rider friends (including the one that was with him that night) have given up riding and are selling their bikes. His family is devasted by his loss and are trying to figure out how to cope. This has been by far the worst month of my life.
All I can ask is that everyone rides safe and takes the extra time to be safe.
Peace - ride safe
