Never Forgotten
Helmets are required by law in Alabama, but my suspicion is that he wasn't wearing a very good one.

+1 more than likely wearing a half helmet. Just about the same as no helmet.

R.I.P.
A Colbert County man was killed Tuesday when the motorcycle he was riding slammed into the back of a pickup truck on U.S. 72, authorities said.
Phillip Barry Manley, of 1535 Red Rock Road, Tuscumbia, was 58.
State troopers said the crash site was three miles west of Tuscumbia, between the Locust Shore community and Pride Landing, and occurred just before 2 p.m.
Colbert County Coroner Carlton Utley pronounced Manley dead at the scene about 30 minutes later.
Utley said Manley died from multiple blunt force trauma to the head.
The driver of the pickup, Harley Kent, was not seriously injured, troopers said.
Both vehicles were eastbound on U.S. 72, based on witness accounts.
Troopers said it appears Manley, who was driving a 2004 Yamaha Road Star motorcycle, ran into the back of the 1994 Chevrolet 1500 pickup as Kent was turning into a driveway.
Emergency crews at the scene said the impact was so severe that it broke the rear housing on a riding lawn mower that was in the bed of Kent's pickup. The truck was heavily damaged.
The collision also broke the motorcycle's front fork.
Godspeed, prayers sent.
