GOD SPEED BRIAN HANA, ANOTHER FALLEN BROTHER & GOOD FRIEND
« on: May 24, 2006, 08:54:28 PM »
I met Brian Hana only 4 weeks ago at the track (Byron).  He has an '05 with a Velocity Stg2 and was trying to work out some bugs.  He came to me humbly asking for some teflon tape for a plug in his up pipe, and asked if the 1/16" hole (wide open hole) would cause a boost leak, because he wasn't seeing more then 1lb of boost.  I smiled at him and said, well lets take a look  :)
Brian was new to turbos obviously, and absolutely claimed to know nothing more then it was fun to ride.  Brian asked for some coaching on tuning and riding and I was honored to lend a hand.  He came around so fast, from running 10.0's one weekend to 9.10 just this past weekend (only two weeks later).
Brian was newly engaged (Christina), he was riding her 250 street bike home from work when a pickup failed to yield at a stop sign, broadsiding him.  Brian was life flighted and passed enroute to the hospital.
I called Brian this evening about an hour ago to see if he wanted to get back to the track this coming weekend and got his voice mail.  My phone rang about an hour later and Christina was on the other end, I knew immediately something was wrong and she told me what happened.
Brian wasn't a member here, but he was the most humble young man I've ever met and it was an honor to lend him a hand and call him a new found friend.  Christina told me Brian said he was disappointed because he didn't run in the eights and thought he let me down, but I say with an open heart I've never been so proud of a person accomplishing so much in so little time.

I'm asking all our brothers to say a prayer for Brian tonight, and Christina especially.

Services will be held this Friday from 4-9pm
Moss Family Funeral Home
Address:   209 S Batavia Av, Batavia, IL 60510 
Phone: (630) 879-7900


God Speed Brian Hana, and God take care of Christina.

Matt

All due to the incompetence of some idiot. :twisted:  This is what I hate the most about motorcycling ... the complete morons on the road who can take your life at anytime no matter how good of a rider you are.  I hope his family sues that cager for a wrongful death.

RIP Brian Hana ...  :(

Ya know, our member here BigBob touched on the subject just a week or so ago, about getting rid of bike because of all the disrespectful people in vehicles, and having children and a family.  Right now I couldn't agree with him more.  To have a life taken is bad enough in it's own, but Brian was a warm, respectful young man that wasn't cocky in any way or thought he was better or faster then anyone else.  He shared his love for motorcycles and dragracing with Christina and she supported everything he did and was always at the track with him, just a really sweet and caring couple.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, I'm going to print this out tomorrow before going to the wake and show her.

What a bummer.

My condolences to Brian's family.

The book indicates God holds humility very high among character traits.

I'm sure Brian is in good hands now.  :angel:

Very sorry to hear that. My feelings go out to his fiance and family. Hard to accept things like this, huh? And he wasn't riding the nutso turbo bike, only a little 250. Even a scooter or bicycle can do you in when the brain dead are allowed to drive pickup trucks.
