MASON CITY – Mason City Police Department and Fire Department were dispatched to 12th Street and North Federal Avenue on Thursday around 6:45 pm for a motorcycle accident.
It was reported that a thirty-one year old male received head injuries when he hit the side of a building, Off Season Golf, just south of Kleen Sweep Construction.
He was taken to Mercy Medical by ambulance.
His condition was not released.
Peter is not Greek!!!!! Let’s get that straight.
Once again the bigots open their mouths. Doesn’t matter if its bikers, blacks or any other story that they have no facts. Go ahead and put them all in the same group. I will give it a try, all greeks are low life druggies who don’t work and blame their loser lives on everyone but themselves. Terrorize people who want quiet with loud music. I hope you all die OPAH!
Sorry to say, but I think motorcycles are here to stay Peter. If you don’t like it, get some ear plugs. Motorcycle riders are not gang members or criminals, just average men & women that enjoy riding. Hope this person has a speedy recovery. I also heard the throttle stuck.
What was the source that you hear the throttle stuck? I’ve been trying to put the accident together and it doesn’t seem to make much sense. Even if he had came down 12th and rounded the corner onto Fedral without stopping he couldn’t have be been doing more than thirty. It was half a block from the corner to the wall that was struck (assuming he was going so fast he took the turn wide and jumped the curb)
Peter, it was this post that made me see black…again, i appologize. But this post was way out of line.

I don’t care if he lives, dies, or rots in hell. I’m tired of bikers thinking that just because they ride a harley, it gives them the god given right to disrupt peoples peaceful lives with their loud, obnoxious tailpipe noise. Also, I wish they would grow up. Mason City, a town of 29,000, and these losers ride around looking like hell’s angels wannabes. Something is obviously missing in their lives; brains, common sense, maturity, the list could go on.
Way out of line? No. Just a person voicing his opinions about loser bikers on their piece of garbage motorcycles.
Voices “his” opinions??? Are you sure you’re not a woman? You sure sound like a woman.
Talk about staying on topic! This has NOTHING to do with loud exhaust. You have NO idea the whole story. Did he swerve to miss something? Did his throttle stick? Who knows? Surely no one here. So to comment on everything from hell’s angels wanna be to loud exhaust shows ignorance at it’s best. Try to comment on what you know or at least what you think you know and focus on the right part of the story instead of your emotions taking charge. So some people hate loud obnoxious noises…i respect that. I hate ignorant people. And trust me, we would ALL be better if there was a law against THAT.
Peter: I think we touch a nerve with “My Voice”. You agree?
Swerve to miss something? Shoulda swerved to miss the building !!
Heard that ‘stuck’ throttle a lot also.
That’s EXACTLY what i’m talking about Peter…”ur kind”. People assuming this individual is the same type of biker that terrorizes you just because he rides a Harley is JUST as ignorant as someone classifying you as a drug dealer that uses and sells his drugs to little kids just because you are so pro-legalizing. Can’t you get that? What’s the difference? If you can’t see it and don’t agree…then that’s mighty hypocritical don’t you think?! You are an intelligent person. It would surprise me if you can’t realize and be man enough to admit that your characterization in this instance is wrong when you assume and make your perception that all bikers are terrorists. Just as I believe it is wrong how people characterize you. And I would defend YOU on it too. Seriously, think about it. We don’t need to have this arguement again do we?
Anonymous, it strikes a nerve with me when people rush to have vocal diarrhea when they don’t even know what happened. Everyone is an expert on everything they don’t know. Then, instead of comment on something they know about, they comment on their emotions. Letting everyone know how they feel about that person that reminds them of that person that wronged them somehow many times before when this guy never even affected them in any way. That’s ignorance and hate. It’s the same type of ignorance and hate that fuels racism. And it REALLY bothers me when ingorance comes from normally intelligent people. Sure, i understand being passionate and biased on something. But hating by association or classification is truly ignorant shows weakness and insecurity.
No, I get that Peter. It sounded like a couple of posters were starting in about THIS guy and loud pipes. My point was no one even knows if THIS guy is the type you would tolerate or not. Anyway, it wasn’t even really you that set me off, it was “1st Ammendment” and “Anonymous”. I understand your point of view and again…i agree with it. I don’t think you are out of line with what you’ve been asking for all along. I was just irritated earlier and started swinging. Sorry for seeming as tho i was taking it out on you alone. I can get headstrong sometimes. So…peace. Happy 4th my friend.
And I’m still trying to find out what an AIDs tree is. Come on, help me out here. (See posting June 2 @ 8:45 am)
Apologies. Should have posted July 2 @ 8:45am.
Peter, I was not referring to you car being loud but rather the lack of doors and windows allowing the ambient noise into the vehicle as you drive it. As an owner of a motorcycle I understand the saying that loud pipes save lives, well I think better visibility and being a VERY defensive driver and not consuming alcohol while riding go much further then loud pipes. I can appreciate the sound of a healthy engine as you ride down the road, just as much as I detest some one on a bike or in a car or truck that have to see just how much noise they can make every time they are moving. I think it is a “look at me attitude”. And just FYI I am not related to any Tomlinsons from the Clear Lake area if that is in fact what you were thinking. And while I have no specific grievance with you I do detest people that group all bikers like what some in this blog have done. While I admit my bike has aftermarket exhaust on it I ride it with respect to those around me. If I desire to hear it loud I make sure that I’m not going to bother the driver next to me or the person on the street.
Wow, what an idiot! Hells Angels wannabe’s? Some people just like to ride bikes. They are fun. You must have an amazing life when loud exhaust makes you cry like a little baby and you let it ruin your life. Do you also hate people that drive trucks or even car with loud exhaust? Do they make you life unliveable too? Get a life loser!!!!!
These bikes infringe my first amendment rights. I am sick of not being able to carry on a conversation outside without being interrupted by some moron with more money than taste riding by on their overpriced, seasonal, customized, two cylinder toy. Start writing these arrogant people tickets. They can obviously afford it. The city could use the money. It IS a revenue stream. Start making some money from people who have it to throw away on crap.
You shouldn’t have 1st amendment rights with the stuff that’s coming out of your mouth!
Too bad, I do. So do you. Deal with it.
And people have the rights to ride motorcycles. DEAL WITH IT!
Driving is a privilege not a right. Break the law and you get your privilege taken away. Deal with THAT.
Peter if there is Karma then I can’t wait for it to seek you out. By the way if you had not taken your car apart to the point it is maybe the sounds would not be so loud! VROOM VROOM VROOM!
Hope you heal fast brother biker.
What a LOSER Peter! Loud pipes? Really? With all the crime going on around here lately and loud exhaust is your biggest concern. Get a life!!!!! Police need to worry about the real criminals. What’s your address Peter? I wanna be the first one arrested by your crimefighting super fake hero. I’ll drive by plenty of times for you to get enough evidence to try and turn me in. And also, it wouldn’t be disorderly conduct, it would be distrubing the peace. Get your details correct before make false statements.
Wow! Something Peter & I Agree on. Cool, did’nt see that coming.
I don’t care if he lives, dies, or rots in hell. I’m tired of bikers thinking that just because they ride a harley, it gives them the god given right to disrupt peoples peaceful lives with their loud, obnoxious tailpipe noise. Also, I wish they would grow up. Mason City, a town of 29,000, and these losers ride around looking like hell’s angels wannabes. Something is obviously missing in their lives; brains, common sense, maturity, the list could go on.
You don’t like their costumes?
Your an idiot who is generalizing all Motorcycle owners. I hope you run your car into an AIDS tree and die
An AIDs tree? What is an “AIDs” tree? I hope this is not the intelligence level of all bikers. But I suppose you’re not allowed to play with sharp scissors, and you probably ran out of crayons, so you thought you would post something on NIT.
If only that building had loud pipes the driver may have avoided hitting it.
Maybe he had to swerve to avoid getting hit. Wait until the whole story is told before you go hating on someone.
I bet he was going way to fast just to hear himself run through the gears. Probably say the building wasn’t watching and pulled out in front of him.
It was a Harley rider without a HELMENT
What’s helment? In grade school it was helmet.
DUH????
Do you know who it was that hit the wall?
