That's a damn shame. Was he a long-time rider? Those distant trips can put you in new and challenging situations in terms of roads and terrain. It only takes one slip up anywhere, I suppose. Very sad for those surviving him, I'm sure.

No Sturgis, three little kids with no dad. All my buddy could talk about for the last couple months was how this was gonna be the trip of a lifetime. How bad does that suck.

Horrible. Can't imagine how those guys feel. Makes me ill just reading about it. Condolences and prayers sent. Is there a fund?
