snot · January 30th, 2015, 05:46 PM

RIP...prayers to the family.

This is sad news. It does appear to be a green new gen. It also appears the rider did have on a helmet.

crazymadbastard · January 30th, 2015, 07:18 PM

Rip

Appears had helmet, there is a visor on the seat. No blood on windshield of the cage.

flitecontrol · January 30th, 2015, 07:46 PM

Appears the car made a left in front of the rider, the most common scenario for a car/motorcycle accident.

Keep your eyes open, never assume what another vehicle operator will do, and don't hesitate to do the SMIDSY maneuver to increase visibility. There are too many elderly drivers in Florida that should have given up their keys long ago. If you know one, you can use this form to report them. http://www.flhsmv.gov/floridagranddr...afeDriver.html

Sadness all around no matter what, in losing a fellow rider. Having it turn out to be someone we know well might make it even more impactful for us.

Whomever the rider is, according to a post on Fb, he was not alone immediately after the wreck.

The car was turning left from the plaza, onto the main road, not the other way around, which is the typical "left turner" case.

In left turner accidents the bike collides with the right side of the car/truck.
Note that in this case, the rider hit the left side of the car and windshield.

I am familiar with that intersection and visibility cannot be better, unless cars moving North along the bike blocked the view fields of rider and driver alike.

Panoramic street view of the intersection

It is very probable that the driver, arriving to the road separator, was looking to her right (to Southbound traffic) at the point of collision.

Judging by the minimum damage to the bike, it seems that the rider was able to brake hard but not enough to avoid colliding with sufficient force to throw his head against the windshield.

Weather was gorgeous, blue sky and shinning Sun, mild temperature.
Many bikers are choosing riding this week because of the good weather.

Is the white decal standard on this bike? The bike in the accident is has a white decal.

Alex · January 31st, 2015, 09:10 AM

That's the standard graphic package on the 09 SE.

Sad story... Mind your pints an quarts out on the streets folks

Motofool · January 31st, 2015, 10:52 AM

I have visited the site of the accident this morning.
It is very depressing to realize that one second of inattentiveness or bad decision can end a promising life and the happiness of one or more families.

A left turning cage that is on the biker's right, will result in damage to the left side of the cage.

^^^ this, please brothers and sisters be prepared at all times to deal with the unexpected, illegal and irrational while riding. One lapse is all it takes.

I noticed the bike didn't seem to destroyed, i was wondering if he hit the brakes a little too hard and lost the front just before impact propelling the rider directly into the vehicle?

Alex · January 31st, 2015, 04:07 PM

I don't think there's enough info to go on. But, smashed windshield on the car, so the impact was hard enough to destroy it solely from the side, or either the bike and/or rider came up high enough to damage it directly. If the rider lowsided prior to hitting the car, I wouldn't expect to see that much damage up high on the vehicle.

M42 · January 31st, 2015, 05:30 PM

The bike in the accident pic doesn't seem to have any rimtape.

tmds3 · January 31st, 2015, 05:40 PM

Does anyone know if Samer was married and had a 1 yr old child? I am a member of ADVrider and someone posted on there about the accident but did not post a name. Said he posted a video of his childs first steps to facebook.

Here is a link but not much more info than here,

Yes, it's him.

Terrible news.

EsrTek · January 31st, 2015, 05:45 PM

Anyone know him well enough, or maybe see if that guy on ADV can start a donation page for his wife and kid?

I have messaged the guy on ADV and waiting for a response and can relay any info here if a fund is set-up to help them out.

so sorry to hear this. very unsettling. it seems shocking and unfair that you can die so suddenly while doing something you love even when you did nothing wrong. I feel for his family

NevadaWolf · January 31st, 2015, 11:36 PM

Rest in peace, Samer. Enjoy the roads of heaven and watch over your family and friends.
