Default Bagger Down

Salt Lake City. Not far from the HD dealership. Car pulled out in front of this guy [:@]and he couldn't evade or stop and rear ended the car. He was thrown, no helmet, he's down for the count. Prayers for him and his family.[&o]

I always hate to see a brother go down but if he hit the rear of the car, then unfortunately most of the blame falls on him.

You must have to pass some ******* test to publish a newpaper. You never hear them say person died in SUV accident. 4000 pounds of steel did not save their life.

It makes me sick to hear about another brother down
and taken out by a cager with no regard.
I tell youguy's, they(cagers) must think we can stop
or move on a dime, to get outta their way.
Always remember, most people don't look for us, don't see us,
and could probably care less about sharing the road with us.

I'm sorry, this is not the time to rant,it upsets me to lose
a brother biker so needlessly.

My prayers go out to the family.

I get ribbed all the time, by guys around here, about wearing a lid. These types of accidents keep it on my head. God be with his family.

Sorry to hear about another biker dieing because people are allowed to drive with their heads in their butts. Prayers sent to his family.

A beer will be hosted in his honor later tonight, after the ride.
