Sorry to hear of you loss. I lost a very good friend in a similar way in 2005 (hit by a sleeping driver on the Hume hwy). I'll be starting our annual road trip of Tassie next Friday with his widow and other close friends. We always have a 'few ales' in remembrance of mates taken from us too early on this trip. I'll have a few for you as well this year

Always bad when a biker goes down especially when caused by a slack car driver.
Sorry for the loss

 Yes, he was VERY young. And a really admirable young man.

 It would take a long time to explain why.
1980 SG  Regular ride
1979 SF  Hot rod project
A garage full of parts bikes and parts to keep these 2 alive.

I just read an article on the
dangers of drinking....
Scared the shit out of me.
So that's it!
After today, no more reading.

Terrible news Greg. Sorry to hear about it.

Whether you know the guy or not there's an immediate affinity through the ownership of an XS1100. He looks quite young too. Very sad.

 Most of you don't know him but just to inform, Jeremy Reed aka Montreux_Blue on XS11.com and on XS11.org was in a bike accident in Dallas Texas today and was killed.

 Don't know any more than he was hit by a cager that ran a stop sign.

 He was a close personal friend and a mod on .org. Some of the pics on here have him on the Bob Jones custom " Limey Accent"
