Just found out about Dolph's (Double Eagle) passing a couple months ago. RIP. Carry on in spirit!  Dolph

AMA is trying to get support rallying behind a bill prohibiting the Administrator of the EPA from authorizing the use of gasoline containing greater than 10 percent ethanol in certain vehicles.  Please go through this site and show your support.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Riding?

Yes.

In so far as I can help you avoid all the digging this is the short story, so far as I have been able to piece it together.

He was riding solo, as usual, and while trying to make a right hand turn he went off the road on the left side and went down into some sort of ditch or small embankment/small ravine. They didn't find him for a least a day. At the time he was on the BMW S1000RR. Had full gear on and although there wasn't a listed actual cause of death it may have been due to suffocation from mud crammed into the helmet. No actual telling there, but one report said he got his gloves off and may have been trying to get the helmet off.

If I am reading too much into this story then please correct me.

The guy called it like he saw it and rode as a free spirit. Works for me.   Dolph

You pretty much nailed it Rick.  Nate reached out to Randolf's brother, and we heard back from him on here.

If I fall in the fires of combat, don't let them make everyone stand in the damn sun and listen to inflated speeches. Let everyone off work at 9am. This is my wish.

No doubt.  I try to take it a step farther: if you feel the need to award me something, please just hand it to me with a hand shake, then move on.  Nobody wants to attend another award ceremony.  Hell, just leave the paperwork on my desk.  This rarely works.

My three blocks away neighbor picked up his SF at the docks today and brought it over for me to check out...it's red, my favorite color on a Duc, with bar end mirrors, aftermarket clutch cover, and new Q2s...

VICTORVILLE, Calif. (AP) — A motorcyclist who plowed into a minivan landed unscathed in the back seat, and the driver didn't realize it until he turned into his nearby driveway, authorities said.
"We're calling this one a non-injury collision with a twist," Karen Hunt, spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County sheriff's Victorville station, told the Victorville Daily Press.
The van was slowing to make a left turn when the motorcycle rear-ended it Thursday.
Callers reporting the accident told authorities: "We don't know where the rider is," and there was concern he might have slid under the van, Hunt said.
"That's when it started to sound ominous," she said.
In reality, the rider had flown through the van's back window and landed in the backseat. The van driver continued to his home less than a half-block away, where he called out to his wife that he'd been rear-ended and needed to return to the accident scene.
As he turned around to back out of the driveway, he saw the dazed biker.
The rider's helmet absorbed most of the impact, and he only asked for an ice pack for his hand, Hunt said. He did not receive further medical treatment.
Neither man was cited for the accident. Their names were not immediately released.
