Another rider gone to soon

Stump · 06-21-2011, 08:10 AM

Just wanted to let everybody now I lost a good friend on june 17th in Fort mayers Fl.The bike she was on { as a passenger} run a stop sign and T-boned a car , the driver was thrown into the south bouned lane and my friend was thrown into a ditch were she later died in the hospital, she was 59 and left behind a son and granddaughter along with alot of close friends and riding friends. Her name was Louis Kerk. another friend made a comment about Lou went to heaven riding on the wings of a angel and I truly believe that. All I can say is "You will be missed Lou ".

My condolences...

Really sorry for the loss of your friend. Friends are hard to come by and always a sad occassion when we lose one.

If one had to die it should have been the rider rather than the passenger since they were the one that ran the stop sign. Just my thought. Caused the loss of a precious life.

Alabama the driver died at the seen he was at falt , I meet him a few times , he seamed like a nice guy but he should've been mote careful you are so right. The lady that was driving the car died at the seen also it was a real bad seen all the way around.I just pray that this riding season gets better so far it started off bad so far , I laid my bike down , the death of a friend , and a couple of other friends laid their bikes down . I just pray no one else gets hurt . I ride like I'am invisable and I already now every time I get on my bike that something like that can happen , when the lord calls me home there is nothing I can do so I'am just going to live my life the best I can will I'am here. so god bless and watch over every one of us when we are riding our bikes every time we hit the rode and I pray we all ways make it home to our loved ones after all our rides . so god bless you all .
