Tragedy strikes one of our brothers "AirborneXX"

I am saddened to let everyone know that one of our Brothers was taken from us yesterday while riding his Bike. Bret "AirborneXX" was out on his bike and someone pulled out in front of him. He didn't survive the accident. I didn't know him personally but from what has been posted up he was a hell of a guy and he will surely be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and wish them comfort in this difficult time.

Re: Tragedy strikes one of our brothers "AirborneXX"

He also a member of another CBR1100XX owners forum website. I frequently visit both sites and looked up if he was a member here too. I know there are differences between both sites and I try to put politics aside. I look at it this way we are all owners of a great machine, lets all be one big happy family take each place(site) for what it worth and enjoy the fact that we all love our BIRDS.

I have read very nice things from a lot of people that new him. He will be missed. It is a very sad day.

Re: Tragedy strikes one of our brothers "AirborneXX"

yeah he seemed like a hell of a friendly guy, invited me (and others) to crash and use his garage if I was ever in jersey again...

bummer for sure, he will be missed

Looking forward to it even tho it will be under somber conditions now.

The whole event will be done in honor of Brett Levy this year as he was a big part of NeXXt in previous years.

By the name of Airborne he enters a line to the Pearly Gates that is the fast track to heaven reserved for those who gave service defending something he believed and it is warming to know he left us doing something he loved.
