Moment of silence for fallen rider!!
I live in Chenoa Illinois and yesterday, just 5 blocks from my house, a rider was killed. Him and two of his friends were on vacation from Germany traveling Old Historic Rt. 66 traveling to L.A. California. The lead rider did not see the stop sign and was traveling 45 mph when he ran into the side of a flatbed trailer then was ran over. Both of his legs were completey removed the bike destroyed. As you are reading this, imagine you are one of his buddies behind him watching this horror take place. This really hit home for me 1. it was CLOSE to home, 5 blocks away and 2. it makes me realize even more that even a small mistake on a motorcycle can end your life. Had he been in a car, yeah he might be in rough shape, but he would still be alive. So take a moment of silence for him and all the other fallen riders....................and remember that what small mistakes you may make on a motorcycle, could turn out to be your last one! So be safe and alert this riding season.

RIP rider.
Be careful out there everyone. It only takes a second to be distracted. Think about this next time you're debating whether or not to wear all of your gear because it's too hot out...
