    Father, husband killed in crash | KGET TV 17

    I just found out today that my friends brother was killed on his R6 when a girl put her suv into his bike. The article contains all the details but it was just a grim reminder to me how fragile life is and that I need to count my blessings more often. The guy had everything the American dream was: a family, a house, six figure income job, and his favorite hobby of riding: and a 17 year old girl took that away from him. Please donate a small portion to his son and wife that are in something I can't imagine my girl friend or my family would have to experience if I were to be taken in such a manner. Any rider down, no matter what they ride, should be remembered. We are all brothers/ or sisters ;) Ride safe guys.

    We are all subject to each others frailties. I pray for him and his family and for that girl that wasn't paying attention.

    No man knows the hour or the day when the Lord will call him home. It's not a hard thing to do, ask him for forgiveness and be saved. Make no mistake, you could be killed walking out of your front door but, we participate in a very dangerous hobby, be prepared. His yoke is easy and his burden light.
