Very sad. Rest in Peace.
Gave-up my Harley about 5 years ago, hubby gave his up about 2 years ago; we are now considered seniors (55 and 65), but we gave it up due to idiots texting and other driver distractions. During Covid 19 we are so missing a ride.
Damn…. RIP, sister. At least you died doing what you love. I hope you enjoy the big Ride in the Sky…
And for those riders still here, I IMPLORE you; maintain your bike, ATGATT, and SLOW DOWN!! Remember that a lot of “fair weather” riders that ride less than 1000 miles a year are all out right now. With all the lack of experience and control that entails. Be safe.
