FORT WALTON BEACH -- A 71-year-old man crashed his Harley Davidson motorcycle into a building on Hughes Street about 10 a.m. Thursday morning, injuring himself and causing minor damage to the building.
The man was headed west on Hughes Street when he apparently lost control of his motorcycle and struck Patriot Arms, at 105 N.E. Hughes St.
"He accidentally gunned it trying to get it under control," said Captain Anthony Brady of the Fort Walton Beach Fire Department. "Shot it straight across the parking lot into the building."
The man was wearing a helmet. He was complaining of shoulder and rib pain at the scene and was taken to Fort Walton Beach Medical Center.

I live the next town north of Fort walton beach and know exactly where this accident happened. Poor fella certainly had a very bad day, But younger riders also have crazy accidents like this one on a regular basis. I admire folks who still ride in there later years.
