Last week a friend of mine was killed in a motorcycle accident.  He was 71 years old and an experienced rider.  He was in good health and his mind was sharp - all of his friends are in shock that this happened to Tim.  He was a careful rider and wasn't somebody that would have taken chances.

He was riding close to his house that is in a rural part of Ohio north of Cincinnati.  He had a STOP sign, and according to the news articles he was going to make a left turn and go south - and this required him to cross the two northbound lanes to get into the median area between the north/south lanes.  He evidently failed to yield to a vehicle traveling north and pulled out in front of them.  Barring some mechanical failure of the clutch - he evidently just didn't see the oncoming vehicle and pulled out in front of them.

Be careful out there - look twice, don't take chances, ride safe!

Sorry for your loss, Dave. It's a sobering reminder of the risks out there.
Be safe everyone!
