Now that is a photograph that just has blown me away....
With ALL respects to the rider whom died yesterday and all his family and 14 kids, THIS is what mates are really about. The pillion and another mate are holding the deceased and talking to him. As the friends spoke to the reporter later I am presuming they were aware of the picture or didnt unapprove.
Its an increbility sad scene, heartbreaking yet so .. overwhelming. Per the article he even travel through Canada to Mexico and was passionate about bikes. RIP, though I knew him not. And to his mates, I wish I had mates like you, sorry about your loss.
