Please Pray for Fellow Rider EthioKnight (R.I.P.) - Page 7

Miles_Prower · August 9th, 2012, 03:38 PM

I like that sticker idea. Let's get someone artsy to make them..anyone? I will put one on my bike for sure.

gfloyd2002 · August 9th, 2012, 03:41 PM

Ethio, when you are well enough to read this, know that the ninjette community is here for you. We're all rooting for you and look forward to hearing from you and enjoying your continued contributions. Hang in there through your recovery and keep fighting.

Vergil · August 9th, 2012, 03:43 PM

My first post was about how cool I thought his jacket was. He was such a nice guy to me, a total stranger, so I decided to stick around this site. Always answered my questions in the friendliest way when I started riding. Truly is a great guy, so this upsets me so much.

KawiKid860 · August 9th, 2012, 04:29 PM

Praying for him, really hoping he'll make it through this. So Sad to hear though... Praying.

my prayers are with you Ethio, keep up the good fight.

Trailerboy531 · August 9th, 2012, 04:47 PM

I'm thinking stickers/decals we can put on our bikes.

Maybe a mohawked helmet over an outline of ethiopia? Or a knight over it?

i have a paypal account with a donate button. its very possible, if anyone from his family can set one up and provide either a hyperlink, button on a website, can even send it via email or sms message to send money. If no one has set one up i can use my pay pal account and send them the money. I already have a button on my website. It might take awhile to set a new paypal account and get banks verified.

If anyone wants to do this let me know. @ninjagorilla2 @davidreaper do you guys know / are his relatives with an address to send funds to? As a person, as a fellow rider, if we do do this i promise 100% of the funds from the pp will be directed to his family. send me pm if you know him or his family personally, i can give my cell number we can discuss this on the forums.

I was in class b4 i read through all the posts and saw the updates b4 i replied. come on bro, keep that mohawk going!

Perhaps a knight in armor with a mohawk on a motorcycle.

austexjg · August 9th, 2012, 04:56 PM

Come on buddy - you can do it.... with faith all is possible.

i like that.. we need a designer..i nearly failed art so im not sure it would turn out well if i did it

iplante · August 9th, 2012, 05:01 PM

Just keep it simple. A full face helmet with a Mohawk. Make both a white and a black decal available to choose from.

I'm sure the helmet was a full face as evidenced in his avatar pic. Whether or not it fit properly is another matter, and it is definitely a good question.

Jiggles already brought up the importance of insurance. It also needs to be stated that PROPERLY fitted gear must make up the G in ATGATT.

I am sorry to hear the most recent news. I continue to pray for your recovery, Alex.

It goes without saying...Hi-Viz gear needs to be included especially during hours of low visibility as well.

Miles_Prower · August 9th, 2012, 05:27 PM

so i'm really bad at trying to attach pictures..if this doesnt work, well here's a link to the one I whipped up..it's not much, but it's got his chair skills in black and white.

if someone could spruce it up/revamp it..that'd be cool too!

I like this, keep it simple. When I think of ethio I remember his avatar, when I see his avatar I think ethio.

I'm still praying for you ethio, pull through, keep fighting.

I'll ask my brother to do some vector art on his original avatar pic, does anyone have a larger size of it?

The first post has this:

davidreaper · August 9th, 2012, 05:55 PM

Saw him again today he is still holding on but the swelling is still three,keep your hopes up

folky15 · August 9th, 2012, 05:57 PM

Sticker looks to be turning out well.

Just read this. "He was just telling me right before we left to ride that he had changed his insurance the day before. Full coverage, uninsured motorist, medical etc. Don't know how high they'll cover but hopefully a good bit, seeing as how he doesn't have actual health insurance."

I'm still believing in his recovery. And the driver that hit him?....well nobody can punish her better than God can.

Miles_Prower · August 9th, 2012, 06:22 PM

no insurance..no remorse for what she did...
she's a monster and she deserves to have her life ruined.
i can't believe it.

i have never worried so much about someone in my life. maybe you guys think im crazy..but you are my ninjette family.

NJ Ninjette · August 9th, 2012, 06:26 PM

hoping for the best

Luvninja · August 9th, 2012, 06:30 PM

Simple is better on a decal, get's the point across with just one look. I'm sure someone can come up with something better than me, and well obviously cleaner than what I did

Gabriela I love it. I think maybe an amateurish drawing is better than a professional version. Shows love, and it's very personal. I would rock this sticker.

Thank you much, David.
Is the swelling due to internal bleeding?
Have the doctors discussed surgery or relocation to another hospital with more capabilities?

IN!

I like this one a lot. how do I get it on my bike?

iplante · August 9th, 2012, 07:07 PM

I still say itd look better and cleaner if the sticker was only his helmet and the mohawk, vectorized

NDspd · August 9th, 2012, 07:08 PM

My god, I feel so terrible not being on this forum for the last few days. He really was a kind hearted person with a great personality.

I want to wish him the best of recovery, and I speak for all of us here.

Keep us updated on his condition...I couldn't bear losing him.
