I had heard about that the other day.. but I don't know any more than what the article already says.

I hate it for their two kids...3 and 1 year olds.

Yup, it was less than a mile from my house.... it was too fast into a corner and looked like the yellow line was ignored. It was up by the quarry, not in the actual twisties. It seems as though they just didn't expect what they found - a turn.

It sucks.

But, it happens EVERY R.O.T. weekend - sportbike, cruiser, scooter, doesn't matter - they come into town and ride roads that [whether they CAN turn or not] they don't know. And, someone pays the ultimate price.

It is really sad for those involved. I'm not surprised. I was just surprised WHERE it happened on that road, I've peeled many a rider off that pavement....

To young, to little experience, sometimes I wonder how I survived the many passes I've made on that road, RIP.
