Soldier Down
« on: April 13, 2012, 04:23:41 PM »

Safety officers dont always send out PLR (preliminary loss reports) but today ours did. I'm not going to tattch it but heres a link to the local news in Killeen, TX. where another caged driver "didnt see him" and put sent another rider on his final journey. Keep yout knees to the breeze and ride safe.

Tragic! To have avoided harm in a foreign country and to die in such a senseless manner!

Every car driver should have to ride on the back of a motorcycle for a few hundred miles do they can see what we see and maybe they would think to look for us.

Sad to hear this too often reported story.
