So sad, makes me feel sad for all of those that have had such a tragedy to deal with. I have personally lost most all of my dearest friends to motorcycle fatalities, two in the last 8 months.
I have a choice as do all of you. I have chosen to break away from the pack of hooligans with whom I am accustomed to traveling with, they have upped the pace and I am not prepared to take that type of unnecessary risk at this time.
Lost my best friend ever on labour day 14 years ago, same circumstances as most, too fast a pace for the conditions. I make a point to not travel on high population holidays, I managed not to be there when it occurred.
