    There is a thread on Chinariders for one of the members who started a disturbing thread. It seems like the classic call for help from someone who is contemplating suicide. On CR, he is known as DesertDog, and Dscooterman here. He did not leave a message here, but has left something disturbing when you click on his profile here.

    I don't think anyone lives in or near Elko, Nevada on this forum? The sheriff's office had been notified by Frostbite from Chinariders, and I have been playing phone tag with one of the deputies, too. Apparently, they have gone to his home, and no one appears to be there. Someone on CR has contacted the local paper (not sure what it's called, but if you go to the home page of CR, there is a link to the thread, and one of the posts has links to the paper and the t.v. news).

    I hope it's not as dire as we all fear, but his silence is truly deafening!

    Update--based on hearsay, apparently he is in Colorado at a family reunion till after this weekend. Hopefully this is the case, and we will hear from him...

    Family reunion makes me think bad thoughts also. Alot of things I will do and wont, family reunions are a wont.. So is suicide, but given the option, it would be a hard desicion..

    Hope all is well. Maybe he pulled a Kurt.. I told everyone I liked on CR that I was bailing though. Maybe he too got tired of the same question, same question, same question, same question.

    Yeah it could be anything. The post on CR did look a little disturbing but maybe he's just burned out of the industry which is understandable seeing how much time you have to spend filtering out what is good, bad and ugly.

    Regardless, hope he's okay! Either way, he's on a different path now.

    Yes ,
    suicide or leaving the industry would be considered different paths Crazy Carl . I like how you put the Dalli Lamma twist on all that
    Like I told Culcune-a-fish , he may even be at the family reunion ( Semper-Fi-Guy willl like this one ) ready to take all of them out prior to taking himself out .
    It is not only possible , but even probable , considering his strange post and odd behavior on multiple Forums .
    You realize if my prediction is right , then I just replaced Nostridamous , and possibly Confuscious too
    If he is ok and returns to dare I say it " China Riders " he will be welcomed back by some, ridiculed by others , and some will even neither care either way reguardless ( that would be me ) .
    Who am I to stop someone from killing themselves if they want too ? It really aint death anyway , you'll probably be re-incarnated into Osama Bin Laddin
    ( stinky Terrorist ) or Obamma ( the yes man ) Bin Laddin ( hee hee ) and get takin out by Billary Clinton when she becomes King of America anyway after putting a hit on Obamma to gain her majesty's crown in the land of Infidels
    ( that's be us in America ) , or even worse , be re-incarnated as a Cock-a-Roach , or even in the Rock world be re-incarnated as Pappa-Roach ( Rock on ! ) .
    Either way , hope he is ok, but the wrathe of critisizm will be mighty ugly I am sure from some that thought his post was BS and cruel to do .
    Either way it makes for a great show and the odds in Vegas are that he is just a sick bastard with a sick bastard sence of humor .

    Cheers out , Snortin Norton ,

    PS> now its time to get ready for my day at the NHRA National Drags Finals today in Kent Washington !!!!! Wish you were all comming with me
    NHRA = Some things are more important than the environment , the EPA , or Gas Mileage !!!!! Rock on
    I got tickets 30 feet from the Starting line this year for me and my lesser half ( did I say that out loud ! ) Hell , she is bigger motorhead than me , so I guess that makes her my Better Half actually today ...
    Either way , were breathing in deep breathes of Nitro today !!!!! Yummy, my favorite Drug , Adrenalin and Nitro-Fuel !!!!
    Got ear drums ? I won't after today !
    You all take care , Cheerios and Fruitloops to you all .
    God save the Queen !!!!

    OK, OK; spoke with Mark today--all is well with him--quitting the business side of Chinese bikes to have more time with family; no suicide attempt but he said he did kind of regret leaving such dire sounding posts.

    I still think it was serious depresion from the requirement to travel out of state for a family reunion.. End of story, and glad he is well.
