that sucks. I agree with jonathan. I've looked at people eyeball to eyeball and they still pull out in front of you and claim they didn't see you. Sucks that she had to lose her life over something so stupid.

Good advice. You should put a sticky up in the sportsbike forum with safety tips and such.

I drove right by on Monday night. Took out my phone and got a picture. Kinda blurry but...my car is moving and it's dark...and it's a phone.

I'd say that the entire front end of the bike is just smashed...lots of pieces of glass and various bike parts scattered all over the scene. It was pretty high impact.

R.I.P.

I didn't hear the story until the day after...that totally sucks that she was so close to home. It doesn't quite make sense to think that she was travelling very fast if her family was right there.

Keith Code's "Twist of the wrist 2" book is about the best thing out there to improve riding skill on and off the trrack...

Reading that book turned me into 2x the rider that I was before.

those pictures make me wanna hurl

I still can't believe it

damn, I live really close to that area. RIP.

On a side not, that intersection ( 2 and blundell) was the most dangerous intersection in the lower mainland for a number of years( in terms of accidents) before improvments were made.

ohhhh my god!!!!!!!

I was reading this in the paper today, and when they said Blundell and #2, and they said a yamaha 600 i got a chill. I preyed it wasnt her. I had the pleasure of helping her at the bank many times and her father like everyday he is a great fun guy.

Iam sooo sorry to hear this, RIP :(

oh man me too....(me and ducky worked together b4)....
that is tooo sad....I see accidents happen all the time on No.2 & Blundell, people drive more carefully! :mad:

R.I.P Janelle....

for anyone that knows Janelle or would like to come, there will be a celebration of her life this Friday in the Gym at Burnett high school. Please come at 7pm

so the driver was a 45 yr old white male driving an 86 Camaro.... I wonder what kinda press this would have received if it were a 20 yr old Chinese male driving an import

...i just got into town today and driving home i wondered why there was a makeshift memorial out there...it's so sad!

...apparently the camaro was making an illegal left turn too...
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

no shit eh

Still haven't heard anything..... maybe today.... but if it was a asian guy in a honda there would be billboards :rolleyes:

this pretty much says it all.
:(
poor girl.

Haven't been around my place much for the past few days. Being ignorant as I am, the girl who just past was my neighbor.... may god rest her soul

There's a long thread over on BCSB about this... and apparently lots of people knew Janelle... such a shame... sounded like a very good person...

Last night me and Deviant and a couple friends were the the Chevron in Walnut Grove and a minivan turned left out of the parking lot and a biker hit the back part of the van. The bike went to the side bounced off the curb and back into the middle of the road and the rider went under the car. He came so close to being driven over but the minivan stopped.
Dont know what condition hes in now tho. He didnt seem badly hurt visibly but you never know.

this is why sometimes i hate god. really really bad things happen to really really good people. she was the nicest person you'll know. she was a good worker, a good friend, good attitude etc.. every quality about her was good.

and im not just saying this cuz she passed away. im saying this cuz i knew her and this is who she really is. it just sucks to see a negligent driver take her life away from us. and wtf did she do wrong? nothing..:(

some may see it as a good thing though... like God took her to a better place

could u post a link please?

Just to clear a few things up, Janelle's family was NOT following behind her, they did not see the incident happen. She passed away in the hospital due to internal injuries. She was just about a couple blocks away from home, so for all of you guys that that ride, ur never safe until ur off ur bike. Be careful out there.

R.I.P. Janelle, your smile will aways be missed.

What about the one on 88th last night?
I was there just after it happend a red r6 hit like a caravan or something. It looked really bad.

Ok guys, im sorry I must post this, but this is infomation.
I do not want to start getting people mad at me so please, dont.

My friend who was riding his bike along No2 road said that he saw the whole accident. And he said that she was riding pretty damn fast. At least over 100/kmh. He was riding at around 70 and she just came up behind and zoomed past him.

Interesting

Read my post above ;)
