    Rider Down.

    I took last week off. When I got into work this morning, I found out that Sat. Sept. 22, I lost a friend and coworker. Doug R., a friend for close to 20 years was t-boned on his M/C and killed. His wife is still in critical. Not sure details, just Denver area - maybe Wheatridge or Littleton.

    Sad day for me.

    (P.S. sorry if this isn't in the right forum)

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.
