We just found out today that our next-door neighbor Gary Stokford, was killed in a motor cycle accident. (We just found out today because they were all gone so long, I guess they went back to MI and buried him and just got back.)

please be careful if you drive a motor cycle and I’m having real big second thoughts about buying a scooter IF we get back to Okinawa, ...

So tragic that this really nice man goes through two wars and then is killed in a motor cycle accident.

Peace. :crying:

It is terrible to hear about the death of a friend...

Take time and look at how many people die in automobile and aircraft accidents per year before you decide against riding!

No doubt about it, bikes can be dangerous. Riding is fun but it'd also serious business. Serious note. I see a lot of people riding without a helmet. Riding without a helmet may look cool but a helmet may make the difference between life and death or being a vegetable. Black jackets and helmets are cool but hard to see and when riding you do need to be seen by other drivers. I wear a full face red helmet and a bright colored jacket.

Sorry about the loss of your friend.
