"We just walked the accident site. We do this to try to understand what happened, so that maybe we can learn something that may save us or one of you in the future. It also gives us the opportunity to pay our repects to the fallen riders. It was a newer body GSXR1000 blue-white w/ a Houston GIXXERS sticker on the tail. They had just started on Limecreek heading south & were only down a few sweeping corners when it happened. It appears they were really hauling a$$, there is paint starting in the oncoming lane POI (Point Of Impact) & 3-4 scratches in the road where the bike slid. Looks like he hit the brakes, low sided, then they went off about a 5' drop, sliding & tumbling across about 25'-30' of grass & into a 3' high wall of large boulders. There is a blue paint impact mark on the rock face & then the bike flipped over & went through a wooden fence. There is a wooden cross in front of a rock on the right of the bike marks, & another laying on the rock to the right. There are pieces of a pink ICON helmet & we found both clear face shields (unscratched) in the grass. There are pieces of fairing, slider, etc. all over around the area. I looked over the boulders & the complete airbox & headlight assembly are both still there behind the rocks. Yellow plastic still there. "
