That’s a bad curve at the best of times, even on 4 wheels. Gotta pay attention to the yellow speed signs on that one.
RIP Dude!
I’ve seen a lot of old guys in their late 70’s riding big bikes the last little while…. its always a marvel that they still get out there like that. I hope I can do the same at that age.
With the long weekend we are sure to see a lot of people traveling on bikes . Please remember if you are unfamiliar with the roads you are on slow down and stay alert . If you are familiar with the roads don’t get cocky and over confident. There is too many factors that one cannot account for or predict . Everyone have a safe long weekend . Ride safe , drive safe and get home safe .
