As I write this, 3 young boys, a wife, family members, and everyone who rides are losing a very special person. Tim has been in a coma since he wrecked his motorcyle while going for a late season ride this past Sunday. While on the way home to his family, he pulled one last wheelie near dusk, while details from witnesses are still sketchy, he was in a wheelie right before the wreck occured. After seeing everything involved, I believe that Tim was approaching a intersection when a car pulled across into his path. Tim was alone with no one lighting him up, and it would have been very difficult for the young lady driving the car to see a thin sliver of light coming from his '04 gixxer 6. As the car proceeded, Tim did what he could to avoid the accident. There is a black mark from the rear tire which kicks out a little to the right near the end, matching what the bike shows. It shows a last chance effort that resulted in a left hand lowside. Tim was with the bike until it hit just in front of the driver side rear tire. While revived within a very short amount of time at the scene, Tim's injuries included broken left arm and left shoulder, both lungs collapsed, spinal injuries, and head trauma, although he was wearing a helmet and jacket which you rarely, rarely, saw him without. Friends and family joined together as we prayed for new test results to come back positive. While new test were to be performed early next week, things took a turn for the worst this morning. This summer I've learned my way around the hospital and a few things about head trauma. While Tim was short of his 7 day peak for cranial pressure, and readings only 13-16 (10ish is normal), He peaked near 46-50 early this morning. This was not a good Thanksgiving day for most of us as we all received a call from friends letting us know that Tim would not be in this world much longer. As family donates his organs tomorrow, 35 year old Tim Meyer will do his last of his many good deeds in life. Timothy Meyer, you are deeply missed.

 

So sorry for this loss. It's always sobering to see a fellow rider go down so hard.

God Bless

 

I don't know if I've ever met him... but i feel for his family and friends.

RIP Tim

 

R.I.P Tim we will always love you. Ride On
-Kyle M.

 

Ride on my friend, keep it on 1

 

I am very sorry to hear what you are going through. If you guys decide to have a gathering of any sort for him, just PM me and i will be more than happy to help pull everyone together. Possibly a ride or a stunt show to help raise funds. My prayers are with you and all the people affected by this loss.

 

We will be doing something for Tim we are just not sure yet. There are people talking about a gathering on Dec. 5th...still an idea right now.

 

that's unfortunate. that's how my friend josh here in terre haute died. a car didn't see him in a wheelie and he hit the car broadside.

he must have been moving to have a serious injury to the head like that with a helmet.

 

R.I.P. Tim I'm not sure if I met this guy either before I left lafayette, but regards to his family

 

snagged a pic of the gix in my garage; could someone please post the rest of the pics that are floating around?

 

First off, I wish to thank you all for the support shown here. It means a lot to the family. Just to see the Meyer's son's crayon drawings and letters laying next to Tim at the funeral was very emotional. Again, Thank You!

For those of you that didn't know Tim, or to jog your memory, he is one of the guys. This past year Tim finally was able to purchase a new GSXR. He had worked awfully hard for it while on 2nd shift at Wabash National. Tim used to ride an old red Kaw rocket, which there are pics floating around of. Originally he wanted to buy a '01 750 that I had, but Tim and I BOTH knew the history on that ole' girl, even though it was awful pretty. But I'm glad he held out for his new one. While working 2nd shift doesn't give you the window at night that most 1st shift/normal jobs give you, it still gives time to ride. Tim was very good friends with everyone, but I would say that among others, Chip(also a 2nd shifter), and Jessie(who bartends) were on the same schedule. These guys got together quite a bit this summer, whether it be riding with everyone, or weightlifting with Chip....and to be honest with you, Tim was definitely on my barfight backup list to call. Tim was....

To everyone helping out so far, thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. Jodi put together a DVD, and Chip put together some slides with music to make for a very memorable viewing today.

I'm also looking for ideas for a sticker if anyone has seen something easy to decal to do with riding, weightlifting, and hunting, please pm me.

Tomorrow is going to be tough, but we are going to meet at the hill at 10, and then go to Brookston for one last ride with Tim.

 

Here are some other pics of Tim riding with us this summer.

 

And some more pics of Tim.

 

Ride On!

 

Yeah, I remember him now. I didn't get the opportunity to ride with him this spring before I left town, but did ride quite a bit with him last year. Looks like the weather is going to work out for your ride tomorrow. Be safe everyone

 

Thanks for the jinks, oops, I mean weather report Erik Today was one of the coldest, rainy-ist rides I've ever been on...... and that meant even more to the family I think. The ride from the hill was ok, but while we were at the funeral home, it started raining. But, I'd like to thank everyone for coming and riding safe.

It looks to be a tough road ahead, but we hope to stay close to the boys and LeAnn and keep Tim's memory alive.

 

agreed. the way home was the single worst ride i've ever been on. i ran the house out of hot water when i got home, and i was still cold. it was awesome to have as many people ride out as we did, now that's respect/love.

 

First, I just want to say that I haven’t been on line in a few days, but everyone has kept everyone informed very well.

Many will miss Tim, including myself; I had rode with Tim many times in the last two years, as I work the late shift as well. Tim was a great person who would help anyone out, with about any thing. And, he loved to ride.

RIP…Tim…you’ll be missed.




And for the record, it wasn’t that cold. I mean, it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity. But, you have to admit that Tim wouldn’t have had it any other way. It was good to see that there are a few of us that will ride for a friend in weather, that most normal people don’t even drive in.

its been a few weeks now since we lost our dear friend. i will speak for everyone and say that when we all get togeather its like a family(Logans). no matter what roads we ride in life we all will still have eachother. Had i sold my 7fiddy i would not have ever known this summer, i will cherish its memories for the rest of my life. RIDE ON 1 my friends-Younkin
