Fallen rider

My best friend never made it home Friday night. He went off on a sharp turn about 1/8th mile from his driveway. It was called in at 3:30 Saturday afternoon. He was dead on impact according to the coroner. He was either avoiding a deer, or a car that veered into his lane. We'll never know. The best friend anyone could ever ask for. He was one of the safest riders I've ever encountered and always wore a helmet. He'd be so pissed if I went 75 on a 65 highway. I examined the scene to the best of my abilities. I actually totaled a car on the same turn going the same direction about 6 years ago. I know he wasn't going too fast for the turn. He made that turn thousands of times. At least twice a day for over 20 years. He went through a ditch and hit a tree that was about 6" wide. He was laying just a few feet from the bike.

Prayers for his family. My wife and I were so blessed to have Ron as our friend. We will never forget him, and our lives will never be the same without him.
