Title: A very sad day...
Post by: flar on January 17, 2014, 04:37:35 AM
There is no scenario in which this is anything but tragic, but I hope that there isn't some story behind this that brings any more personal sadness to anyone at Zero...  :(

The picture in the second article looks like an orange Zero DS parked near a red Zero S on its side.

Thoughts and prayers going out for everyone...

Well, that is unfortunate and very sad news.  I haven't heard anything about the accident yet from my local news sources.

I assume it to be an SR based on the colour.

In a pastime such as riding motorbikes its a sad fact that we were bound to lose a member of our fraternity. My thoughts are with the riders friends and family. I hope they take solace in knowing that he would have had a smile on his face before the accident.

It was Alan Yelensky

Here is a link to his memorial ride that is coming up on Jan 25.
