As my biker family grows I guess it is inevitable that I will know someone who passes away. We have lost many friends on this board too.
On monday we lost a local rider, Mr. Ken Sawyer (900 Ducati) He rode with us last saturday and all went well. Then Monday he and another local buddy went for a spin up one of our fav twisties, he passed a couple cars and apparently failed to make a right hander. I was quite surprised because this was an unsafe move in a kinda tight situation and Ken was 61 years of age and an experinced rider. He was chasing a younger very fast rider on a gixxer 1k and that probly put him in over his head.
I didnt know Ken well, we had only met a couple times, he was rather quiet but friendly.
You never know when the last time you see your friends so appreciate every moment. And I say it every year or so it seems, lets have fun but be safe out there.
We are having a memorial ride for him on Saturday.

Ken is the older, bearded gentlemen
