Lost one of our own today.
Got hit yesterday, pickup following a semi made a left turn in front of him. He sustained a broken jaw, 5 broken ribs, fractured wrist, broken forearm, fractured pelvis, and had bleeding from his brain. He was life flighted to Fargo, and passed this morning. He was a father of a baby girl, a soldier, and an instructor at the Regional Training Site in ND. He was 35 years young. He will be missed. |

Damn. Every time I hear about something like this, I can't help thinking about how fast it can happen. One minute you're cruising along, enjoying the ride, and the next minute you're just gone. It's a really sobering concept.
I hope he has found peace, and my thoughts are with those close to him. Also, perhaps prematurely, do we know what kind of helmet he was wearing?

RIP
I watched a rider turn at an intersection turn and when he was clearly starting down the road a car cut in front of him and I'm pretty sure they seen him. This rider braked hard and got stopped. It can happen way to quick. James

His bike was still upright and embedded in the front of the pickup, up to the firewall, when authorities arrived. The pickup driver gets a $20 citation for turning in front of oncoming traffic. SFC Geist pays with his life. Don't think that's what he had in mind when he said he would give his life for his country. ![]() |

We never like to hear these things but it is a sobering reminder that they are all out to get us. Especially the ones turning left.
RIP rider. My thoughts & prayers go to his family and friends. |

I almost got it sitting at a red light. I THOUGHT I saw the SOB starting to stop so I relaxed and put it in neutral. SOB slide between me and the next car missing me by inches. I kicked my own ass for relaxing.
