Our prayers out for the family of that rider.



and whether or not alcohol was involved the driver's license should be taken for a period of time. All too often you hear about things like this that aren't necessarily criminal but very neglegent. There should be a stupidity punishment. Like when the four-wheeler and sport bike guys are riding wheelies down main street. Take it out on some side road. Stupidity causes death.
