Lest we forget...

The hobby or life style that we all practice and love is dangerous. It is us against them! Keep that in mind every time you strap that bike on and go for a ride.

Larry was a guy that I became acquainted with several years ago at a previous job. He was always easy to talk to and ALWAYS had a smile and his smile was contagious. When I left that job, I thought that would be the last I would see of Larry but one night my wife drug me kicking and screaming to play bingo with her (can you tell I am not a fan?) When we walked through the door, there stood Larry selling bingo card packages. It sure was nice to see his smile again.

Yesterday Larry was in an accident while riding his reverse trike scooter and yesterday evening the Good Lord called Larry Home... I guess He wanted to see Larry's smile...

Rest in Peace my friend, until I see you again!

The article doesn't read that the driver pulled out and stopped in the middle of the lanes that Larry was traveling in, but that is what happened - I guess the driver of the truck saw him too late. It also doesn't read that speed was not an issue, but you can pretty much see that because all of the bike parts are laying right next to the bike.

Sorry to hear about your friend, Brian, it's a tough thing to go through. At least he was doing what he loved when he went - what more could we ask for.

Steve, I said those exact same words earlier this evening.

It's sad when good people pass.

It really hurts to hear about a good man totally innocent having this happen to him, I get a sick feeling every time I go through an intersection when there is someone waiting to make a left, many other things I can control with safe riding but a car crossing my path is totally their move.
My condolences to you and yours and his.

Always sad to hear stuff like this....we are not immortal, and it always seems to be that someone else is always willing to prove it to us....
My condolences to you, Brian, and to Larry's family....

Man Brian, that is a tough one. Many prayers going out!

We only get one life. Best we LIVE instead of exist. Sounds like he was a man who lived.

Very sad, May you and Larrys family be Blessed. Charlie in NC
