Today was rough. A dear friend of mine lost his son in a motorcycle accident last night. A 16 year old girl pulled out in front of him while he was traveling down the road @ about 55 mph (the speed limit). The girl will be charged but it doesn't really matter now ... He was wearing a helmet and was not faulted at all in the accident. On top of another tragedy, they lost their other son about 18 months ago. His Dad took me out to 2 dealerships this spring and is one of the reasons I am back on 2 wheels. If you can, Say a prayer for Kevin and Brenda Duncan for their son Jesse.

Me too. I just feel so awful when I hear these things. My prayers and thoughts are with them.

 

[rifleman223]

Prayers from me as well. What a tragedy.

Will do, sorry to hear...

Prayers go to them from me too. I would also like to add I feel sorry for the other driver. She's off to a bad start as a driver. Tough way to learn, makes me glad there was about one third the amount of people on the road when I was learning how to drive. Both my kids drive now and all I can do is worry about them.

Such a tragedy. Please give, Kevin and Brenda our condolences. And above all remind them we are praying for them.

I pray for them, and wish the surviving family well in the future.

My sincere condolences for their loss.

Kris, that is terrible. Please pass my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of this young man. So sad, and such a tragedy having already lost one son.

The legal age to drive a car over here is 17, I still feel that even that is too young, I'd be happier with 18 personally.

 

[TheZsdad]

What a heavy load for one family to carry. Prayers send.

Brit Warrior, raising the driving age might help but I feel there is no substitute for good training. It doesn't take much to get a drivers license in this country. This is going to be a tough lesson for the girl as well.

 

[ekmaint]

Prayers out from massachusettes brother!!

 

[16shy]

Consider it DONE!!

 

[filipinowarrior]

prayers from me and my daughter as well.

 

[fierysport]

Terrible news Jon. I could not bear the thought of losing one of my own. A combination of raising the age, limiting the power and a federal standard driving test is needed.

As a biker you have to assume every cage could knock you off and have an escape route.

Kevin & Brenda,I will definately keep you in my prayers.I could'nt imagine what your going thru.I also have a son named Jesse and he loves to ride,he's only 14 now but already anticipating the day he can get a street bike and ride along side me.We take a chance every time we go out but I can't stop riding because of the risk and I can't deprive my son of the enjoyment of riding.It's in our blood and we have to enjoy it while we can.I pray everyday for all my Warrior/Biker friends to enjoy the ride and to come home safe.Love the ride,Love your family and enjoy life,it's shorter than we sometimes realize!God Bless![/emoticons/emotion-1.gif]
