"Motorcycling: The Perennial Gift; An Interview With Neil Peart" - BMW Owners News, April 2005

 

Since we are injecting songs into this tragedy here is mine: "The End"

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes, again

Just the way it is as I see it. I know the religious ones will have a fit.

Different Group, but awesome just the same... "Ship of Fools"

 

Lets see "Discovery", Hell the whole 2112 Album and my Fav "Roll the Bones" album as well...

 

Since we are on Rush songs, I have a few that I always like. Closer to the heart, La Villa Strangiato (sp?), Limelight, Mystic Rhythms, Manhattan Project, Subdivisions... They always had a new sound that made it interesting to follow them. I have seen them a few times live, and they were amazing. It sucks that they are now done. My first exposure was my older brother buying Moving Pictures. I now have about 25 Rush CD's. I also bought the Ghost Rider book by Neal Peart. that guy has a very existential way of seeing things. He has been through a lot personally.

 

For those who forgot what the fuss was 'bout...

 

...it is sad that her life ended prematurely... maybe there is a lesson in there somewhere for mitigating risk ?

 

“If you ride like lightning, you’re gonna crash like thunder.” don't remember where I first heard it...

It's horrible another ride is gone. One of the reasons I'm glad I don't have a bike that can do 180+, I'd be dumb enough to attempt reaching it....

I've been there, in a corner too fast, I will slow down for most blind curves and hills I can't see over. I ride in the snow and ice and "lost control" twice in the last 7 year, last time was a few years ago at 70 mph on 81, thankfully I was in the left lane when the left curve came up and the rear lost traction...

First time 7 years ago different bike, 55-35 transition, idiots in front slow down immediately, I hit my rear brake, started sliding, went to safety lane hit rear brake again, slid past multiple cars....

Am I still gonna do it ya!!!

Place beyond the pines.

She died doing her selfish show off reckless habit. She had a lot of fun and lot of attention in her life. Now a teenager doesn't have a mother, likely didn't have much of one anyway before she died as an adrenaline addict showoff. How many thousands of lives did she endanger in her life as she was showing off?

If you ride like a mad person everywhere when the time comes the last thing to go through your mind will be your ass. I am very happy she didn't kill anybody else on the road.

 

@Flyboy I've got that same lump from playing full contact sports with a deer on an old Guzzi.

It was during hunting season & people would ask me if I had got my deer yet.
I'd tell them yea one small buck, I used an old Italian piece to kill him.

 

Yep, witnessed one of those high speed hit jobs at about two feet to the rider next to me one night. Have seen your pain and funny part was we were enroute to the Hunting Camp. Even had our rifles strapped to the sides of the Bikes and his Remington 30-06 became scrap with the bike...

Bought a couple deer whistles for under the floor boards, but didn't install yet... That way they can at least hear ya before hitting you.

...I watched a documentary on RUSH's farewell tour a month back...
simply amazing; and made me wish that I would have attended one of thier gigs while Neil was still wanting to beat the skins into submission

 

Being Olga recorded most of her riding I would say there is a good chance she recorded her own death. If so, it should be released after the investigation is closed giving us a better idea of what happened.

 

If they found the camera... At that speed that thing could be anywhere.

 

More Olga...

 

'ho misses Olga?

 

She was sooo put together for a 40 (something)...

Why yes I believe I can and they lead to the places of interest... As for the camera, doubt they will if the rear tire was a 1/4 mile away.

I notice something about deer behaviour, they don't like music!
If I have music playing on the Vic the deer along side the road will be very alert & nervous.
If I keep it off they just keep on grazing.

In fall there is one stretch of road I ride every night on the way home.
There are 3 or 4 different spots that the deer will eat. (Changes every season)
I've repeated the "test" enuf times now to know it's true.

 

So maybe the whistle does work...

 

Heh, I told ppl after I killed a deer w/ my Vic years back that you don't need a deer tag to kill a deer.. but I don't recommend it.. it's a lot cheaper w/ a bullet.
I like that 'ride like lightning, crash like thunder' line.. I'm gonna have to borrow that one.

 

Oh Hell yeah lets play... Not, what song of Rush do you like?

Trees

This was Harris's first film as a stunt performer, according to Deadline, which reported that she was not wearing a helmet during the scene because her character does not wear a helmet.
