  • A Harley isn't just for Christmas, it's for LIFE!

A dear friend gone.
« on: November 02, 2009, 08:48:41 AM »
Got to my desk this morning to discover an email from the family of a  very dear friend in Germany - former director, and charter member of the Baden HOG chapter.  

Riding his bike on Saturday, a 78 year old lady didn't see him, and pulled out in front of him, and he died immediately.

This on top of news on Saturday morning of a friend's mother - I'd know her all my life - having passed away on Thursday, and on Saturday afternoon of a member of our club, a true gentleman, having lost his battle with cancer, also on Thursday.

I don't much feel like working today.

Jim

Thanks for your kind thoughts, all.

This is the report of my friend's crash:

The german members will be able to read it, but for the rest of us, the photo speaks volumes.  :(

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Yet another senseless tragedy to one of our brothers. Sad.
