Motorcycle Accident | Oct 2, 2005 | Mother of Steven

[Mother of Steven]

To all that has comment on my son's motorcycle accident on Satruday 05, 2005 in Davie Florida: I have read some of your comments and please know that before you pass judgement on a person you must know them. Also remember that "Herald" spelled his name wrong, Office Bill Bamford works in adminstration, "desk job" and is only called out to talk with the media, in which they report wrong. My son Steven, with a "v" was a good driver, he know about motorcycles. So let this be your teaching before you pass judgement, make sure you ALL know the FACTS !!!! Mother of Steven, Nancy

Sounds to me like he was going too fast and high sided himself. Guess he didn't "know about motorcycles" as much as he thought.

[Enterprise]

Uh, I smell ozone.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your son and I apologize for the insensitivity of some of the posters on the forum.

There is no way for us to "know all the facts" about news articles posted here. Be real. You don't know all the facts, either.

You signed up today for this?

Sorry, but that is a tactic of lying trolls. It is not the sort of thing real people do when they have important personal issues to deal with.
We are not "personal."

Anybody can get on a bike and go fast..I've been riding for quite a while and I STILL find an empty parking lot on Saturdays and Sundays and practice slow speed maneuvers, swerves (which has SAVED my ass on numerous occasions), braking, U-turns, etc..I bought a cruiser to cruise and never ride faster than what I'm comfortable with (usually within 5 mph of the speed limit)..I maintain distance, move over and throttle down when being passed and ride within my capabilities..far too many young'uns just get on and go..the results are tragic in far too many cases..

[ValerieUSA]

You fell for it?

[Tijeras_Slim]

Same here, I'm a devout coward on the things.

[SIDENET]

sniff, sniff...

First, let me say that:

1. IF you are who you claim to be; and
2. IF the facts are as you assert,

then I'm very sorry for your loss.

Understand that the "insensitive" comments on that news story were made based on the facts portrayed therein. If the reporter got his/her facts wrong, your complaint should be to them. Motorcycle fatalities based on foolhardy stunts are a daily occurrence -- and as such, are the fault of the rider.

Second, you unilaterally claim that "Office [sic] Bill Bamford works in adminstration, 'desk job' [sic] and is only called out to talk with the media, in which [sic] they report wrong." Are we to accept your interpretation, or should be contact Officer Bamford's mother first?

We've had more than our share around here of putative "mothers" who posthumously hijack their child's legacy for another purpose.

[martin_fierro]

be contact = we contact

[wimpycat]

If you are who you say you are, I'd have a lot more things to worry about at this point than what people on an internet discussion forum had to say, if I were you.

[MotleyGirl70]

I was going to post that same thought.

[caver]

Another poser. Someone here on FR runs a ping list for these types of coincidences. Can't think of who it is though. All about the person that signs up today because they read some thread about their relative, friend, aquaintenance, etc. and about how we at FR are a bunch of heartless jerks making fun fo their misfortune. I still cannot see the enjoyment these trolls get out of it. What's the purpose?

[Tijeras_Slim]

Hellinahandcart has the Fraud Ping List. I didn't see the point in letting her know about this one.

[spunkets]

" My son Steven, with a "v" was a good driver, he know about motorcycles."

Obviously.

[thoughtomator]

Know all the facts before passing judgement? When they pry my keyboard out of my cold, dead hands, maybe.

[motormouth]

Just Hummmmmmmmmmmm............
