Fatal (x2) crash on Hwy 33 today.
Friend of a friend rode by this today. 19-year old squid runs out of talent and crosses a DY at speed in a corner, and slams head-on into an oncoming motorcycle. Both riders killed, and 3 other bikes go down as a result, with more major injuries. Please ride within your limits, folks.

Crazy, bummer. Simi my hometown.

Ugh, I hate hearing about people paying such a huge price for other's bad decisions and mistakes. I'll definitely be thinking about the families of those involved today.
Ride safe. |

Very scary since I was on that very road on Saturday. The 33 gets crazy in the morning and mid day as the guys on te liter bikes love the 33 due to the sweepers that it has. It can lul you to sleep as a few sections have some tight technical turns and are easy to go in too hot.

Wow, my condolences to the riders and their families. I used to live in Camarillo and those roads and the PCH were what first got me wanting to ride.

Wow, sad story, especially to hear how one person can ruin it for so many others. I rode that Saturday morning but got there early and there wasn't much traffic, I hope all the involved riders recover quickly.

RIP.
Almost happen to me once but it wasn't a squid on a gixxer, it was a group of Harleys. They weren't speeding or anything. Just a couple of them drifted over the double yellow, luckily I saw them early enough to readjust. After that, I no longer apex at the double yellow on left handers.

Sad. My prayers goes to their families and all the riders who were injured. All could've been prevented if squids weren't "squiding" around.

Stories like this make me start to think that the tiered licensing requirements that most every other nation uses would be a good idea here too.

You know, if I hadn't had family things to do Sunday, I very well could have been on that road at around that same time.

Unrelated head on collision. It may have been posted before. Luckily no one seriously hurt.
