Default RIP Rider and brother

Lost one of our own today.

Got hit yesterday, pickup following a semi made a left turn in front of him.
He sustained a broken jaw, 5 broken ribs, fractured wrist, broken forearm, fractured pelvis, and had bleeding from his brain. He was life flighted to Fargo, and passed this morning.

He was a father of a baby girl, a soldier, and an instructor at the Regional Training Site in ND. He was 35 years young.

He will be missed.

Damn. Every time I hear about something like this, I can't help thinking about how fast it can happen. One minute you're cruising along, enjoying the ride, and the next minute you're just gone. It's a really sobering concept.

I hope he has found peace, and my thoughts are with those close to him.

Also, perhaps prematurely, do we know what kind of helmet he was wearing?

RIP

I watched a rider turn at an intersection turn and when he was clearly starting down the road a car cut in front of him and I'm pretty sure they seen him. This rider braked hard and got stopped. It can happen way to quick.

Not sure. Never got the opportunity to ride with him.
