[Cecil_Stringer]

BRANDON - A 19-year-old man was killed Wednesday night when the motorcyle he was riding slammed into an oak tree.
The accident happened shortly after 6 p.m. on Delany Creek Boulevard, which is near the intersection of Falkenburg Road and State Road 60, sheriff's spokesman Lt. Rod Reder said.

He said the man was speeding on the bike when it jumped a curb and struck the tree.

The bike was a silver/blk cbr1000...believe the guys name was either Shawn or Shane Porter.

May he rest in peace.

Please be careful...

It could happen to any of us. no matter how old we are.. but facts are facts 19 years old, chances are more testosterone than experiance.

total assumption. no matter how you slice it though.. totally fricken sad... I hate hearing about this stuff, and especially hearing it is a young kid.

So Sad---------------Brain=Wrist.........................Even at 53 i must think heavily------Today even------
Horsepower corrupts absolutley---------Use the "NOODLE" and stay alive. It's bad enough with other traffic....
Actually very scary...turbo diesels on our azz---old folks who are half blind and more---Kinda macabe--let someone else kill you --instead of yourself....Ride as smart as we can----I have thought about the danger of two wheel travel.
Too much FUN..dayam----Rock and a hard place---Busa is ready to ride...Rocks my world and my wifes....
There are no uphills. But we do live in the Danger Zone-----By our own free will--- Rock on and ride as well as we can.
Also Merry Christmas...60's today and got a ride in....
