Sad day in NH
I love riding but you just never know what's right around the next corner.
Ride safe and watch out for the other guy.

Re: Sad day in NH
Yes, I saw that on our local news...sad for sure! Exactly why I rarely ride any more.

Re: Sad day in NH
Awful, that's for sure. Even scarier when you see the pic, which shows that the crash scene appears to be on a fairly straight, flat stretch of road. And the story talks about it being only about 500 ft from the place where the bikers were staying.
Thoughts and prayers.

I also saw it on the news. I saw one quick picture and no need to see anymore. Horrible accident. It wouldn't stop me from riding, but at the same time I don't mind that I have retired from it. Any word on the cause? Sounds like it was the truck's.

Haven't heard any updates, but I did see where someone has helped to raised about $163,000 for the families.Cowboy Gun Fan wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 12:57 pmI also saw it on the news.

Won't stop me from riding either.
But you do have to watch yourself and the other people.

Re: Sad day in NH
I have not stopped riding completely, however, it does take a bit of the joy out of it having to be even that much more alert. Unfortunately, as you all know, people do whatever they want to on the roads these days and cell phone use/texting is at epidemic levels.Vaquero wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 1:19 pmHaven't heard any updates, but I did see where someone has helped to raised about $163,000 for the families.Cowboy Gun Fan wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 12:57 pmI also saw it on the news.

Salute to the veterans.
Prayers for God's peace to envelop the families at such a sad, hard loss of loved ones.

I stopped riding because people kept trying to kill me.

Re: Sad day in NH
Same here. About a year ago I had had enough and gave my last bike to my son-in-law.
The guy driving the truck had a possibly Russian sounding name as did the company he was driving for. I just read he had been seen swerving as though the trailer wasn't balanced earlier. I assumed driver induced oscillation from the way it was described. Even his employer hadn't been able to contact him as of my last info.
