Thoughts and Prayers to all family and friends. Just way too many of these postings to be reading about this early in the season. May God watch over us all as we head out on trips and bring us back home safely to our loved ones. May the rider RIP.

news reports the rider was doing between 50 and 60 mph in a 45mph zone.... she turned in front of him.... 5-15mph over the speed limit in this area is nothing.. most people do 20+mph over... reason being, alot of our 45mph roads are 6 lane highways... as was this one..
