You know, as bazaar and tragic as this is, I guess if I had to go out on a motorcycle by way of my number coming up, this really aint such a bad way to go. IMHO, it beats the heck out of being taken out by some incompetant ass wipe who in all likihood had no insurance and who probably wouldn't loose a nights sleep over it. There's a whole lot worse ways of exiting this existance than what befell Larry. If it were me lying there, I would much rather look down from above at these posts knowing how this happened the way it did, rather than going out by way of rider error or by someone elses incompetance.
I handle liability claims, just to give an example of one that I have never forgot. A few guys go out together for lunch (in a car). They each are young and recent college grads. They each got their first decent job out of college and one of them is married w/a new baby. If I recall correctly there were 3 guys in the car. They enter into a curve and a dump truck is approaching from the opposite direction. The driver of that truck had stopped up the road a short distance and bought some red rind cheese (hoop cheese), he dropped it on the floorboard and was bending down to pick it up. Welp, the story does not have a happy ending, newly married, new baby, and the truck driver only had 50K in liability insurance--trust me it took a chunk of that just to bury the guy. I think he was about 25+/- years old as I recall. Talk about senseless!!!!!! Now what happened to Larry--since it had to happen as God's will, really aint such a bad way to go after all since it was by all indications fairly immediate. We should all be so lucky when our # is called!! God bless Larry and his family!!
