That is a sad read. I pray that they got the rider to the hospital in time, and they will recover from their injuries. You have little to no protection when your bike hits the pavement. Glad another vehicle did not hit them when down. Thank you to all the first responders for your loving and dedicated work.

Kim, I have made several very positive and nice comments, and they are all gone. I can’t seem to get to first base with commenting on the Lost Coast Outpost. If you don’t want me to make anymore article comments just say so, and I am gone.

Probably her website. I have had problems posting comments over the past couple of days.

Dunno. Tried 10 different times to post a comment, both with and without links, and it wouldn’t take.

That’s OK I’m patient. I hear you’re working on it… there are other quirks but I’m coping.

I saw someone post on Facebook that there was someone punching motorcycles out of cars today ….perhaps they are the culprit!
