Damn Fast Frog I give my condulence.
I got the same type of news back on August 12th of 2007. My best childhood friend of 32 years was killed on his Ducati 999R by an illegal immagrant that made an illegal left turn in front of him, I guess he couldnt avoid it and low sided it to try and slide past the car rather he slid under the car breaking his neck.
Its sad news and we should be aware each time we throw a leg over our motorcycle we take a risk for something we love to do. Just as a skydiver that jumps out of a plane he knows the risks but he in another word he passed doing something he loved doing and that is riding!
Sorry to hear it! When my friend was killed I quit street riding for over 2 years, just finally bought my new 09 Busa a month ago and I am back on the street.
Prayers go out to you and his family.
