I saw the local news reports on the incident. It doesn't sound like any explanation will help the shooter.

Tomphot, the take most of us and also the sherif's was that the girls cut him off caused him to hit their car and drop his bike and they admitted cursing and using 1 finger salutes.
So far it points to they just took off and he was following them to deal with what they did and get his bike fixed. Along the way they called their dad as usual he came out shooting.
A typical lil POS redneck coward. As a final good bye about 100 of us road to the crime scene and read a final message for him. I think the Locals had a good idea of how we felt about this. Thanks to Oconee Sherifs dept. They cleared the area blocked the road and kept thing civil.
Here is a link to see a vid of the our clubs final words to this young man and his family.

That is messed up. Hope the shooter gets life. Maybe his dumb *** daughters will finally
learn that their games or whatever it was they do, will cost them and theirs.
I run a bike forum in Japan, for foreign motorcyclists. Have an FXSTB and DRZ 440 ( modified )SM.
Ride safe.

RE: tough day
I will be 21 next week and also ride (Harleys however!!!). I would have acted the same way as he did. I cannot stand it when an idiot pulls out in front of me. It happened at Myrtle Beach Bike Week two years ago on the MAIN STRIP. It goes to show that you none of us is invincible. I send my prayers for this young guy and his family, and to these girls. Maybe this tragic event can have a positive impact on their lives.
Even though I dont like riding with rice rockets, I respect everyone that belongs to a brother hood. I have been apart of rides like that with my Harley brothers. It is a good feeling of assurance when you know who is there for you.

I too share the passion of motorcycles (hints the R6 name) and this was a complete tragety, feel sorry for everyone involved..except the shooter. Lots of unanswered questions though, either way the rider never deserved this. Ride safe guys!

RE: tough day
I had no idea so many of you guys rode also.
We all have had a crashes and stories, You know the old saying theirs 2 kinds of guys that ride motorcycles
1. the guys that have crashed
2. the guys that are going to crash
As far as the type bikes our club ride true were a sportbike club but we have members with Harleys, all makes and models of big cruisers ,bmws and lots of other types bikes.
The motard( dirt bikes with street racing tires on them) is getting big now also the big off-road rally bikes.
And quite a few of the bike guys are into cars also.
Guess speed and fun translate well.
Ride safe when you have your 2 wheeled Pony going

RE: tough day
Yeah...I would like to have a sportbike to have fun with. But, there is something about making people roll their windows up when I let them hear my Ground Pounders!!!
The other week I came up onbiker in the middle of an intersection.A guy pulled in front of him, and the bike was flipped off (54 year old man broke his leg). He had a brand new Softail Classic. I stopped my truck in the middle of the intersection and yielded traffic and my g/f and some other people who stopped assisted the rider until the ambulance came. The thing that pissed me off is that people were barely slowing down for meand it was night time. Sometimes we need to realize that our lives are rushed and hectic all the time, we probably should chill a little bit and enjoy life. Just my 2 copper coins.
