I never had the pleasure of knowing Dave but I'm saddened to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family, especially to his young daughter.

Events like this should serve as a notice to all of us. Dave was by all accounts a great guy and excellent rider.

We're only here for a limited time and eventually fate catches up with all of us.

One day someone will be able to sum up your entire life in a few paragraphs. The best that we can hope for is that people thought of us well and miss us.

God speed sir and to everyone else have a safe motorcade tomorrow.
