Yep. My wife's dad passed away on a motorcycle (classic scenario where a car pulled out in front of him while taking a left hand turn SMIDSY). I basically switched to dual sport riding exclusively and haul the bike to the riding location in my truck. Everyone is on the phone. There is no courtesy or caution anymore. It's "nice guys finish last" these days.
I did the same over time… then sold my motorcycles when I moved to FL. Between oblivious snowbirds and teenagers on the phone it simply isn’t worth it. I might get a dirt bike for trails exclusively, but in the United States I won’t ride roads unless they start treating distracted driving like drunk driving and locking people up.
That sucks. It is important to hear about these things so that we all stay vigilant. All it takes is a momentary lapse in focus for one of those near misses we all experience to become something like this. Wear your gear ride responsibly and stay focused!
I'm so very sorry Tyler. My heart goes out to you and all your family. As a father of a young riding man I can only imagine the agony of your family's loss. We can never understand why these things happen. All we can do is cherish every day we get with all our loved ones and hold dear the memories of the ones we lose......
Im so very sorry to hear this. My sincere condolences. I can't imagine the pain his family and you are going through. And from all the moto-brothers and sisters in Australia, Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Stay strong and know that young Riley will ride forever in heaven.
I'm so sorry for your family's loss. I'm sure a lot of us see y'all as family and are here to support you and lift y'all up in prayer. May God bless you and strengthen you.
So sorry for your heartbreaking loss Tyler. Thanks for letting us know how we can help and thank you for the reminders. Sincere condolences from our family here in Alberta.
Brother Man, sorry to hear that. Brings tears to my eyes. My words cannot express enough of what your family is going through, but we here in the motorcycling community support you and the family through this.
Sorry for your loss Tyler and my most deepest condolences to your entire family. Words aren't enough, but know that me and many countless others are thinking of you.
I left a comment on one of your videos from 3 months ago about you & your videos saving my life. now I would hope that you can keep going in your hard timed and push through. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. That being said and heartfelt I know you are strong enough to push through the hard times. Head up (even with the tears to come) & keep stepping you are an amazing individual, you got this.

If his channel is monetized at all, it'll help a little. I don't know if it is or isn't, but at the very smallest it's a token of support. Tyler, much love to your family.
I am so sorry for your family. Prayers for them and you. I have to say this type of thing is always in your head as a parent no matter how old your kids get. I was fortunate enough to race with my boys as they were growing up and there was always a bit of fear as to what could happen riding a motorcycle. We have been fortunate but we have also seen others that haven’t been. It’s heart breaking. God bless.
Sorry to hear this. Seems to happen all to often. Hearing these things really makes me minimize the amount of time on my bike, and serious thoughts of calling it quits.
Tyler, healing and peace to you! So sorry for your loss. You have a lot of people that have your back. We are here for you. Every day is a gift! And tomorrow isn’t promised. Live each one to the fullest. All good things to you and your family. ❤
So sorry to hear this mate. Oh man. Devastating news. We unfortunately hear about serious motorcycle crashes far too often and it's far more tragic when a young life has been lost. As a motorcycle instructor I'm passionate about making sure my students will be as safe as possible out there and that they understand just how vulnerable we are as riders. My thoughts are with you and your family Tyler. 😥
Sorry to hear it man..My 20yr old son had a head on collision with a car while riding his WR250 5 months ago..He sustained a concussion, shattered his femur and broke 2 bones in his arm..Thankfully he survived and is recovering..Much love and condolences.
I'm very sorry to hear it man. My love to your family
My deepest condolences. It can happen to any of us at any time, and it's awful to be reminded like this. Stay strong.
My road to offroad ratio has plummeted in the past years. Drivers are getting worse, and luck is finite. Sorry for your loss.
