As much as I hate posting about this, I felt the need to out of respect for a friend, fellow rider, and ducati enthusiast:

Desmohio Member Bill Culp was involved in a fatal motorcycle crash this morning around 7:00a EST.

He was struck and killed by a minivan making a left turn.

Posted off the Desmohio Website by GeorgeCLS:

Bill Culp was involved in a fatal crash this morning on his way to his new position with the Army National Guard, while riding his Ducati. Bill was doing two things he loved the most: riding his Ducati and serving his country. Bill served 18 months in Iraq and would have returned the next day, if needed.

Bill is survived by his wonderful wife Ester.

Bill Culp lived his life in total integrity, compassion, and love of country..

God Speed, Bill. Arrangements are being made and if anyone would like to get involved, please visit www.desmohio.com

I hate hearing this.  RIP.

MY prayers are with his wife and extended family.

You never know when your time is up.  At least he was doing something he loved.
