How sad, especially now on Thanksgiving eve. Prayers to his family. Sadly, anyone who rides a motorcycle is taking a huge risk. That's why cardiologists refer to motorcycle riders as heart donors.

Wish this would happen more often.

Seriously 12:43!??? Are you that jealous of motorcycle riders that you wish them dead? You are a sick individual.

Dang 12:43, I wouldn't wish death on anybody. That being said, looks to me like the east and west frontage roads, connected at the north and south ends with a loop under the bridges, and having only one side street entrance on either side would make for a nice 1.6 mile oval road race course. He might have been the first to lose his life, but sadly he probably won't be the last.

Any update as to who this was? I can't find anything.

The buddies he was racing with left him to die without a trace.

Crotch rocketeers, huh?

"Donorcycles". The rootin'-tootin' fools who drive these noisy nuisances provide many useful organs to those in need of transplants.

Figures. By the way, I just checked google 'news', and nothing with details came up. Do you have a link, or is this what LEOs and witnesses are saying?

Y’all are right about the crotch rocketeers flying up and down that part of I-55 (including the frontage roads), but I suspect this wasn’t one of them at 6:00 pm. They tend to do that in groups between about 10:00 and midnight.

10:11--- That is right, the sport bikers usually ride late at night--in the warmer months. When it is cold they can't get nearly as much grip with cold tires. They would be like hockey pucks on the pavement. That's probably what happened to the fellow that lost control and was killed the other day. The temperature was too low and his tires were cold with limited grip.

Have any of you had the experience of driving on 55 in Jackson of being startled by the sudden roar of motorcycles whizzing past you as they dart in and out of different lanes between cars? Each time it happens I feel lucky I wasn't changing lanes just then because I had not seen the cycles coming up behind me at great speed. I mean like 90 mph at least. I've thought about calling 911, but by the time authorities could intercept they'd be gone. I've thought each time there would surely be a crash up ahead where the cycles were headed. Next time I'll be quick to call 911. I'd say let them earn a Darwin Award except everyone's safety is at risk from such recklessness.

Some of those guys eventually self-attrit.

12:43 - Please elaborate so that I can try to wrap my head around your statement.

Gladly, 12:43! I'll be blunt. I HATE those people, and want them to die. I'm tired of being awakened by loud vehicles. And I'm tired of having crotchrockets endanger my life on the Interstate.

It's an overcrowded world, and the FIRST people who could be eliminated, are the stupid, reckless bullies. These creeps on motorcycles, aren't just endangering their own lives, and not just degrading their own lives - they endanger and degrade the lives of others - and for no good reason.

Streetsweeper said...

So, are you putting all motorcycle riders in your death wish? In case you haven’t noticed, there are motorcycle riders who’s bikes aren’t loud and do obey the law. Do you actually know whether or not the guy who died in this crash was riding a crotch rocket? Yes, this guy that you seem to have taken pleasure in him losing his life because he was on two wheels? Do you know what he was riding? Let’s get blunt.

Kingfish said...

Law enforcement sources said he wasn't one of the crotch rockets. Just a guy who had a wreck on a motor vehicle that has little margins for error if something happens.

Now as for the Wolfpack at night, I have no sympathy for any of them whatsoever.

Streetsweeper said...

Yes Kingfish, I already know that he wasn’t riding a crotch rocket and not one of the night gang. I was there. I’m calling out 12:43 for their heartless comments.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
