It also didn't state whether the rider was wearing any protective gear, jacket, helmet, etc., and I don't know the laws in Minn., if they have a helmet law or allow free choice? He may have chosen to drink, not wear a helmet, etc.! Darwin's theory may have been proven again?
I hope he was an organ donor, seems a bigger waste if he wasn't!

People die in cars everyday also ya know? In bed and crossing the street. Cancer has killed most people I know.Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas.

Hey Elevener,
I tell my wife that everytime she gives me crap about riding. And I also know that if I was in a cage when I hit gravel last spring I would not set off airport metal detectors.
Fact is it is more dangerous to ride, and we can all use a reminder now and again to be careful.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
