It kills me when people comment on others they know nothing about. The closest some of you negative people have ever been to a rider is watching a documentary on tv. We ride in at least 4 charity runs a month, you'd be suprised how much money riders bring into your community and local charities. My bf's husband was killed in a Toys for Tots run, tell me how evil he is?

RIP Brother , We each live our own lives , make our own decisions and then we deal with the outcomes. No better peace than being with our "kind " feelin the wind and chewing up asphalt". Respect is free , give it to get it ! Long live 81, Devildog

Lightening can travel a mile through air. The three inches of tire rubber of a motor vehicle tire will make no difference. The reason a car or truck is safe is that the occupants are surrounded by well conducting metal and electricity takes the path of least resistance. You are not safe from lightening in a rag top.

Where does it say he was a Hell's Angel? No where! Because you ride and belong to a group of riders, doesn't mean you are a Hell's anything. GOD Bless him for the good work he was doing that day and imagine being able to die doing something you loved! He is at peace now!

I have ridden since i was old enough to walk, its a passion bikers share. This guy was doing what he loved to do and for a fantastic cause. I cant imagine why the Big Man decided to take him, i am sure He had His reason<s>. Rest in Peace brother...my complete and heartfelt sympathies to your family and friends. God Bless.

to:Xlttydu--PLEASE don't say anything about "Hells Angels" Bikers! When i was a young teenager,a group of HELLS ANGELS BIKERS saved my life,and the life of my friend as well!! We were walking to a local "DQ" and as we got close to the intersection,we noticed a number of Bikers underneath a bunch of shade trees,and we kinda slowed down a little,a man in a car stopped and tried to force us into his car,the Bikers saw it ,and came to our rescue!! One Biker "hollered" at the man,as he was walking towards us,and it scared the man so,he took off!! If it hadn't been for them,we most likely would have been dead.SO-MANY THANKS TO THE HELLS ANGELS BIKERS THAT SAVED OUR LIVES THAT DAY!!!
