Had an uncle die on a motorcycle today

He lived out of state, so I really only kept up with him at weddings and funerals, so I don't need my spirits buoyed up much, it's just kind of a surprise. I didn't even know he rode a motorcycle. Last I saw him there was never any talk of a motorcycle.

From this news report he was traveling in the outside lane of a 2 lanes each direction highway. An oncoming car came from the outside lane of it's side and swerved for unknown reasons all the way over to his lane and got him in a head on collision.

That's a hard one to defend against. If you try to swerve to the middle, the car might try going back to it's side, and still get you. You are already in the outside lane, so the weeds are your only option that direction. Scrubbing off speed and taking the head on at a lower speed might be the best option?

He has young kids, too bad the car got him.
