Dave, we never met that I know of...I wish we had as from the past 3 pages, you must have been a great dude.At least he passed doing what he loved.
As a side note...I don't want to die doing what I love, i'd rather just live my life and watch my kids grow into adults, and I'm sure he'd be thinking the same thing. RIP fellow rider...
Everyone this goes to show you that no matter how good a rider you are, bad things can happen...please slow down on the public roads and go fast at the track...for all of our sakes.
