Hate to bring up this awful story. This weekend past, the son in law of my cousin, fatally injured himself in a motorcycle accident. He was only in his early 20's.
Apparently having just entered a turn, a strong burst of wind blew the bike over. (Wyoming has seriously high winds) The rider's brother was following immediately behind him (in a pickup)and called for an ambulance wherein he was life-flighted to Salt Lake City. He passed away this morning.
He was NOT wearing a helmet and most of the bones in his head were broken. He is survived by his wife and two children. A tragic loss.
I can see how that could happen.
When I was in Arizona recently I was really surprised at how hard the wind blew. Nothing to disturb it as it howls over the flatlands.
Have to be very aware in those conditions.
Truly sad for his family. Here in Pennsylvania it seems that the wearing of protective gear, especially helmets, is the exception rather than the rule among the cruiser set and, to a lesser degree, with the sportbike riders too.
not too derail too badly......
This must have happened between Casper and Laramie?
My wife is from Casper and that is the most horrible windy place I have ever been to.
