...another sad day when a rider passes away. The way it sounds it was military personnel...even worse losing another person in unform losing their lives, this time it wasn't on foreign soil. RIP and god bless his family.

Shit, RIP

RIP to the rider and best wishes to the rider's family.

The military is really getting fed up with losing servicemen to motorcycle fatalities. This isn't going to help matters much for those that wish to serve their country and ride a motorcycle.

Sad to hear of anyone going down, but a service member, that's just salt on the wound. My thoughts are with the family.

I read about it in the paper today. Guy was 55, they let you stay in that long? All it said about the bike was 2004 Honda.

Yikes - rider down just minutes ago in Hollis, NH (Rt 130). I didn't see it, but a coworker saw the ambulance crew moving him off the pavement and onto a backboard...with no gear at all!

How hot is the pavement today? Road-rash and a tar skillet!!!!! OUCH!!!!!!
