A Friend Passes
A friend of mine and ex-Co-worker had a fatal wreck yesterday morning. He was actually a fairly new member here on the board but I can not remember his screen name I do know that "King" was in it since he had a Road King. He was hit by a Dodge Ram truck with a big grill guard at a busy intersection. They had to pull him from under the truck and he was not wearing a helmet. That is all that was released so far.
His name was Dennis Dans 39 yrs old lived Arlington, TX but was from Louisianna.
He will be missed by all that knew him.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend and a fellow rider. God bless and may he rest in peace.
Looks like you have some good memories fro the pictures. I was just in Luckenbach back in April and it is a really cool place.

My condolences to you for the loss of your friend / ex co-worker and to their families for their loss.
As much as I love the freedom to choose whether I wear a helmet or not, I can tell you that I am damn lucky to be alive after my accident in April (I wasn't wearing either my 3/4 nor my modular full helmet). As a result, I have, for the few short demo rides that I have done, worn my helmet for all riding and will do so from now on.
For those who have a choice, I recommend you take a long hard look at the current status of cagers and bikers in your area. There have been far too many bad situations that involve bikes & cages!
