I don't know since I have never been stopped up there on a moto (only in a car and not by him), but it would make sense since it all happened up in La Cueva. Either way, from what I have heard about him, it is a great loss.
Yeah I was talking to the wrecker driver who hauled my truck home Sunday. He seemed to be on a friendly basis with most of our local LEO's and from what he said it sounds like he was a good guy.
