Well while in route home to Yakima Wa. on saturday afternoon returning from the ABATE Spring opener in Toppenish WA. My best riding partener was killed on his Softail! I watched it all unfold in my mirror. I gave cpr for what seemed like for ever untill the paramedics arrived and pulled me away! They then did nothing to save him and told me that he was dead on impact. He has a 7 month old baby girl and his high school sweet heart turned wife of many years. We may never know the exact events that lead to him rearending a pick up backing down the Highway half on shoulder half on the slow lane. But I know that he was by far the most safe, sane and good headed rider that I have ever ridin with.
