TEWKS Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I've come to realize as life rolls on, (even if you're on your game) when your time is up, your time is up. Link to comment

Selden Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I always pull off, preferably under an overpass if one is available, if lightning threatens. That said, this was horrible for his family, maybe, but quick, and to my thinking far better than living to 95, a gibbering idiot wearing a diaper. My two favorite deaths are: Fulton Freeman, former Ambassador to Mexico, President of the Monterey Institute of Foreign Studies, and an avid golfer. Massive coronary at the 18th hole of Carmel Valley Golf Club — while ahead. Malcolm Forbes. Threw an obscenely expensive 70th birthday party at a rented castle in Morocco, flying in some guests on a Concorde. Still riding motorcycles, died in his sleep 6 months later. My greatest fear in life is lingering past my "sell by" date. 5 Link to comment
wbw6cos Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I wonder if the crash killed him or he died instantly from the lightning strike. Also, I am curious if the helmet has any electronics built in. Sad. Link to comment

Thanks for the tip, Richard. 👍🍻 He has a gofundme page for medical bills. I imagine that means that he didn't have medical insurance. https://www.gofundme.com/f/im-the-motorcyclist-from-pchkanan-dume-accident Being that the article is the latest in non-journalism, it says nothing about the guys age. But he seems like a younger guy from the video(maybe middle age, most guys are now "younger" to me, at my age😁), and the video says he has no memory of the crash. Link to comment

Even with insurance, a high deductible or a 20% coinsurance can make the bills go way high way fast. From the way that truck bed came flying at the motorcyclist, it’s not hard to imagine him needing a whole host of surgeries and treatment. Crazy video! Link to comment

I watched the video in @Rougarou's link, and the guy has a remarkably healthy attitude toward it all, despite what must have been a pretty miserable time in the hospital. 9 broken ribs? Egad. 1 Link to comment

Rougarou Posted July 8 Author Share Posted July 8 If you're body is telling you something, you might just wanna listen. Heat related injury's/death don't "just" happen, there's events/symptoms that lead up to it. This, in my opinion, was preventable. https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/motorcyclist-dead-from-heat-exposure-in-national-park-as-triple-digit-temps-affect-millions-in-us/ar-BB1pA28I If you gonna hit the extreme weather, you better acclimate yourself properly. Living in air conditioned spaces does not acclimate one to high temps/humidity Link to comment
