    What happened to Krash's bike?

    Any of you "Old Timers" remember?

    Been a minute since I have been on here. Hope all is well in your world.


    Car was doing 75. The GS topped out at 140 ish. Original incarnation of the sleeper *superbike*. Filmed by Paul C. hanging out the passenger side of the car...

      Is what you implied true? Krash is not the luckiest of screen names, but did he in fact die on (or flying off of) his bike?

      If so, rest in peace fellow 11ez rider.

      PS My '73 Kaw Z1 was a widowmaker. My cousin's best friend died flying off it. The bike suffered a broken turn signal and a few scratches.

      2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

        Yeah he died....We organized a bike raffle for his widow and the guy who won the bike gave to someone I think. I did a search and could not find the thread. Well any how we organized delivery ala daisychain and I rode the first leg from Easton PA to Jamestown NY. Then John from Ohio put it in his truck and took it from there. forgot what happened after that....been a hot minute since this went downSkipsBreakdown2.jpg is skip among st the breathing?

              That is correct. Give me a minute to recall.....Billy Ricks was the guy who got the raffle ball rolling. Krash died in a truck accident. Not on the bike.

                If that is the bike I recall, John in Canada won and gave it to Michael Howard in Richmond KY. Haven't heard from him here in years.

                Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                  I still have a PM from Billy Ricks, dated August 26, 2006, about the raffle (he was the organizer).

                  "Wrench" won the raffle. He gave the bike to Michael Howard, and there was a GSR group effort to get the bike from southeastern PA to central KY. The raffle tickets were $5 each, and over $2,000 was raised with fewer than 100 participants.

                  There was some ugliness later about the final disposition of the bike, which I won't go into.
