So sad, to travel from Lead, South Dakota just to have this happen on a rural country road.
Be careful out there people.

Why is the gender of the motorcyclist significant to mention in the headline?

Female Harley rider unusual and therefore noteworthy, busting gender stereotypes. Why second-guess Kym’s work? Let it be…
And may the dearly departed RIP.

There are a lot of female motorcyclist. You just don’t see as many because Humboldt is small compared to the rest of the state.

There seem to be relatively very few actully. I drive all over this state and others. There is a reason that it is noteworthy.

Gasquet is very dangerous stretch of road.
East bound rushing to Medford, West bound heading to the coast-

Small pockets of microclimates all along the road, serpentine water distracting, summer has people jumping into the road from the water….

Be very careful in there especially during cold times.

It’s all about respect and condolences period. Why even bring up the argument about it happening to a female. It is a tragic loss period. I have been a Medic for over 18yrs, as well as an avid Harley owner and operator for over 30yrs. It is a sad thing for her family. God rest her soul.

You know the one thing that really pisses me off about this little thread you guys got going is that we’re talking about a human being here who is dead who just happens to be a female and who was a friend of ours . She was a kind big-hearted beautiful person who had been riding for a very very long time She was wearing full protective gear and going 35 miles an hour . Now I don’t know exactly what happened yet but I will tell you people this her boyfriend is sitting in a campground by himself Dealing with this Tragedy while you folks debate Whether or not it was politically-correct to identify her as a Female !!!!!!! Her name was Lorna And she was a wonderful lady So show her , her family and her friends a little respect and keep your little liberal political correct BS to yourself

Thank you and yes she was. We lost her brother only a year ago too. Her son (who served in the USAF is flying from east coast to get her. I cant imagine what her boyfriend had to go through seeing her after the accident. It’s a shock to us. She isn’t old enough to die.
