From His Brother Dave

Pls, tell this to his closest friends. They are all invited. No bikes due to our mothers request.

Just so you guys know, my brother was declared NOT AT FAULT. He was killed due to an error of the car driver. He was an excellent rider, graduated recently as a motorcycle instructor trained by the air force. You all know that.

This means that we put our lifes at a much greater risk every time we ride in twisters such as VMR because of the imprudence of other reckless drivers in a 2 way 2 lane road curve.

My family cannot afford another loss, so I decided to stop riding this kind of roads. Though I will still ride in the street and on the track.

Be extra careful, even though your risks of death will still be there. Never say “this will not happen to me.” We used to say that.

Sincerely,Dave.
