Default A sad day!

Well, today's my birthday and just found out my brother's best freind since childhood,(46) died last night in a bike crashdown herein Texas. I don't have the details yet, but it was on our hwy 121. I'll let you all know the details once I get them... He was a great guy, but was always known to take chances. Not a good trait for a biker.

Thanks guys! I'm very interested to see what's up. I hope it wasn't a housewife putting on lipstick talking on a cell phone or I'll be pissed! His name was Shaun Stanton.
