Motorcyclist Dies in Crest Crash

We appreciate these reports. They would be more useful if they contained any sort of details. Kind of motorcycle. Direction of travel. I realize that isn't always possible and applaud that this report did include gender and potential age.

Forrest service/someone really need to install a sign @ the mouth of the canyon numbering the deaths so far this year. A motorcyclist seeing this just might slow down. If it saves 1 life it has done its job

There is such a sign outside of Bakersfield going up to Lake Isabela on Hwy 178. Unfortunetly it is updated often.

He was northbound on ACH. Looses control on a left turn just pass big tujunga doing 75mph. Hits the railing on the right into the turn, dies at the spot. The bike looked like a Buell.

A poster campaign needs to be started at Harley-Davidson and other motorcycle retailers to bring the above-referenced idea into stores where people can talk about it face to face. There will always be speed demons you can't convince but speaking to someone directly will hopefully enhance the efficacy of a posted sign.

Sounds like a great thing for you to get installed and maintain, Gregg.

Fortunately these accidents are usually a solo crash, Unfortunately this mans time was up in an instant as there is no cell reception up there and it was an hour before he had medical attention. He was a well known motorcycle racer in the "Flat-track" world , a professional , and a member of the off road community with a lifetime of achievements racing motorcycles. He will be missed by many...

Corina: You are cute.....are you blond? You have my curiosity up.....how would the details be more useful such as kind of MC and the direction he was heading? On the Crest, he was heading in many directions, Potential age ? You mean now? Well not much potential. This guy was an experienced MC racer who won many awards. He was going about 75 into a curve. Head protection would have done him no good, This type of Crest visitor is a menace to safe drivers. I think the C.V. Valley should sucede from L.A. county , the State of California, and the U.S. Then, it could exercise complete control and keep idiots out...period. Come to think of it, I might never get to visit my home land again.....b
