R.I.P. Mark Glorioso 5/19/14 (Poker007)

Sad day for one of our own

This is the information I have been dreading since I join my first motorcycle forum.

I just received a phone call from the father of one of our own that lost his life while on his FJ a week ago Monday when he collided with a turning car.

He was know here as Poker007 and his name was Mark Glorioso.

His father did not provide me any further details other than to thanking me for working on the FJ that gave Mark so much enjoyment.

Guys ride like the cars are going to kill you.

Stay safe...

I am sorry to hear the news.  It is a grim reminder about riding and staying alive.  May he rest in peace and condolences to his family and all that knew him.
I never met him but as a fellow FJ rider he is a brother of sorts.  Sad news indeed.

It is terrible news... I feel sorry for his loved ones, this must be the worst time for them.  It will be very hard on his riding mate too.

Travel safe...

      My dad once told me:: mail1 - THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF MOTORCYCLE RIDERS!  RIDERS WHO HAVE CRASHED!  AND RIDERS WHO WILL CRASH!  SOMETIMES THE LAST CRASH IS THE FIRST; AND A DEADLY ONE !
                                                                                                           
When my God takes me  I will rejoice in happiness forever ! take  care  Kurt.... good2

You want to know, what makes me go
At morning, noon and night
From cars and bikes the drums and mic's
it's a fire burning bright

but deep inside, what makes me glide
throughout my daily plight
are the things I see, and the love from thee
that inspires me to write

so lead me on, til mornings dawn
til darkness turns to light
and friends we'll be, for eternity
once heavens gate's in sight

so until then, my FJ friend
we'll lean them left and right
and follow on, the road beyond
to catch the winded flight


:drinks:

Never regret your choices in life ! There is no way to go back to do it again and compare. Make the most and do your best with every decision you make

Mark Olson

Whoa , I just talked to him the day before the accident . He was making plans to come to the WCR .

That sucks.

This really is sad news.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention Randy.
You have given us a timely reminder that we are not invincible.
I hope Mark rests in piece.
