Very bad to hear. May his friends and family find peace over the loss they have suffered. We lost a great member of the motorcycling community and one of our own.

Very Sad to hear of EthioKnight's passing. Hr was definitely a bright spot on this forum and will be sorely missed. I'm praying for him, his family and many friends.

I barely know EthioKnight but I remember the first time I saw him with the mohawk in that chair and had a good laugh.
I'm at a loss for words, everyone here has said everything I could better than I. ...Any of the locals, let us know if there's anything the community can do for the family. |

I haven't been a member of this forum for long however trawling through some of the threads I noticed that EthioKnight seemed to be a pretty cool guy with an awesome looking bike.. When I initially heard about the accident I was quite shocked, and since then I had been thinking about him frequently. To log on and hear this news is horrible, like everyone else I was hoping he would pull through.
Rest In Peace EthioKnight, and my sincerest condolences to your friends and family. Ride safe everyone. |

Is there any news on exactly what did happen? She blew the stop sign and then they collided? Is there any suit against her?
This is so heartbreaking. I rode Saturday and thought of Ethio, I first heard he was rear ended and I check and triple check my mirrors at any stop now.... It's such horrible news, I guess I'm looking for some good out of this.... :0( and I feel selfish for saying that. This is about EthioKnight and his family. |

Sorry that Alex passed, and back to the point of my original post. ATGATT is important, even in the gulf region where it is ridiculously hott!

I'm not trying to discuss it. Therefore no thread necessary. If you read my post you would see that it just explains how it happens often. Then that dude starts spouting off about a decision that I had to make make during that incident, saying there isn't a good reason to lay a bike down. But there was a reason to lay it down. A decision that saved my life. Thats all...
No one will ever convince me otherwise. End of discussion!

My prayers go out to his family. As a father myself I cannot even contemplate such a loss, brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. |
