Justun,

You are right. The twisties on these roads are some of the best. Alan I feel for your family and friends. Tragic for sure. I took a 200 mile ride out to lake Ten Killer today on the Hayabusa and just west of Tahlequah on Hwy 62 there looked to be another motorcycle fatality accident. People, know your limits and your bike's limits. I'm so sorry for the family.

Justun,

Yea,

It's really hard to keep from going directly to jail speed on these bikes. The power and technology this bike and all of the modern sport/hyper sport bikes of today can get even the most experienced rider in trouble in the blink of an eye. My FZ1 & VFR 800 Interceptor can get me in trouble as well. Again my thoughts with the family.

Justun and all sport touring enthusiast need to google "Motorcycle sport touring association" if you would like to ride with the real hard core bikers who ride smart, fast but safe.

My condolences to the family. I clicked on this story because my nephew rides a motorcycle throughout NE OK. Bikers be careful. I'll watch out for you.

Jacob was a friend of my daughter, by all accounts a fine young man. I know that he will be greatly missed by all that knew him. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Allen family.

I was behind the crash on the Muskogee Turnpike. It was devastating to witness the fire and be unable to do anything. My prayers are with the family of the Wrays. How does someone end up driving the wrong way on the Turnpike? Did they do a u-turn on their side of the road? It would be pretty near impossible to get ON the turnpike in the wrong direction.

I'm sorry for the family of the biker. It is getting to appear that riding a bike is a new American Roulette.

Few Clothes, America (11/8/2009 9:31:38 AM)

I hope they do a tox screen on Jordan Leland.

Condolences to the families of all who perished.

DaBirdman, (11/8/2009 11:37:14 AM)

Condolences to all.

I am a "former" bike rider who saw my life flash before me during a high speed wobble on I-44. I let the bike go and slid on nearly all parts of my body. Lucky to be alive although I do miss riding alot!

RAIDERS FAN, (11/8/2009 2:17:32 PM)

To the families, friends and loved ones of those lost, I'm truly sorry and offer my sincerest condolences.

Losing anyone is never easy and I pray for comfort to the ones mourning during this difficult time.

Unfortunately I was right about the wreck I saw yesterday on hwy 62. I don't know if wearing a helmet would have saved his life but it wouldn't have hurt. I get so mad when I see these idiots tooling around on 1000 lb. bikes not wearing a full face helmet. It's the most important safety article you have. Why do you think articles like this mention if a helmet was worn? I've never read an article stating that the rider wasn't wearing gloves or armored riding gear. It make absolutely zero sense to me. In fact it utterly defies logic what so ever. I don't even wave at these knuckle heads.

Still my condolences to the Ketcher family. I knew when I saw a man next to the bike on one knee and his hand covering his face that it was not good.

Ok all you haters bring it on!

Justun,

I've been tuning on the Corvette all weekend. Thought it was plugs and points. Nothing helped....

...then I found a Haybusa lodged in one of the tailpipes. It was choking the engine...

nuffsaid, Tulsa (11/8/2009 5:47:38 PM)

Justun,

I agree with you but having owned bikes like Gold Wings and BMW the full face helmet can be extremely uncomfortable when it's over 90 deg. So I solved the dilemma and all I ride now is sport/sport touring machines. I bought the Icon white and silver Hayabusa helmet. You should check it out. I've had numerous complements on it and the fit is outstanding, Frank Thomas gloves, leathers w/ armor & boots.

What scares me the most is seeing female riders wearing a bathing suit top and Flip flops. I in-vision scabs with yucky stuff....well you get the idea

Corvetteguy you are right up there with Harley guy. You can read between the lines on this one. I have a corvette to but would NEVER use it as my handle.

Been addicted to them for 35 years...

I used to ride. Enjoyed it almost everyday. Moved to Tulsa and decided I liked living more. I still miss riding.

My condolences to all.

"The drivers were both wearing their seat belts, but the younger Allen was not, according to OHP reports"

the first thing a good parent does is to make sure all the kids' are wearing their seat belts.....wow

FUTURE WORLD, Tulsa (11/9/2009 12:41:05 AM)

Just so sad to read. My condolences to all family members and their friends. Bless those surviving children.

Condolences to the families of those killed. The holidays will be difficult for them this year.

Catman'smom, you can get turned around on the turnpike at the McDonald's/Gas station area if you enter back on the turnpike from the exit ramp. Unfortunately, if you aren't paying attention, you can get turned around and not notice till it too late that you are going the wrong way. I too, was on that road about three miles behind the accident. We sat there for two hours before we finally turned around on the shoulder and travedl back to where OHP was directing us to go. They had removed one of the concrete dividers from the middle and was directing traffic back into Tulsa.
