Saw that, damn shame indeed.

I was looking forward to his take on the new study.

Didn't know you, Harry, but  chug.

All of us riders owe him a debt of gratitude.  May he rest in peace and his family receive solace from knowing how much he contributed to the safety of others.

Not the same Hurt, but...

"If his head hurts, why don't you drive?!"
"No, no, no. It's Hertz, You Drive!"

As much as some people may criticize the SNELL rating, it at least encouraged thinking.

I was not aware that he was a life long motorcyclist.  I remember when his Hurt Report first came out back in 76 or so.  Always thought the name apropos.

He rode "a garage full of things: Hondas, Triumphs, Nortons, dirt bikes, street bikes -- all kinds of stuff," his son said,

Never really believed Harry Hurt was his actual name, thought it was a clever moniker.

He brought science to MC safety so that we need not rely on myth and folklore.  Yet there is still much myth and folklore around like, "helmets cause neck injuries."  Thank you Dr. Hurt.  You will not be forgotten.
