Its sad to hear of a fellow biker dying, but the statement above also speaks volumes.

RIP Clement.

Sorry to hear of the accident. Wondering if perhaps age played a part in this, or just inexperience with the particular model he was on? Sad day in any case.

Not fastening your helmet is downright irresponsible

This is what we do and these are the risks we take - RIP Clement.

I was at the mid-Ohio and as always, Triumph ran a tight and competent operation on the demo rides. I feel very sorry for the employees and volunteers who worked so hard to make the weekend so enjoyable for us - they must be feeling very low right now. Best wishes to them.

What sad news. My heart goes out to the departed as well as his family. And then there are the people involved....what a fine, top notch bunch that ran the Triumph Demo rides. I didn't get a chance to go on one but walked by the trailer and signed in there for the dinner and bonefire. Posted were the rules of taking a demo ride. Leaders were on microphones and PA systems giving pre-ride instructions. The day/weather was beautiful.....bikes in perfect condition. What a tragedy for all....
