I just found out about this last night but it's just now hitting the news around here. It was my best friends brother (the one who died), who was also my friend. I also am an acquaintance of the other couple that were hurt - the rider of the first bike might lose his foot - was going into surgery as of a few hours ago.
If you read the article you can tell they had absolutely NO chance - lady crossed the center line and just drove head on right into Daron. It would have been a bad deal even if he was in his Duramax and not on his Harley.
The weird thing is I only talked to him and his fiance a little over a month ago about the dangers of riding. He knew I had been in a horrible accident so he wanted to know my thoughts on how dangerous street bikes were and stuff like that. He was an ex-motocross racer like me so he was a good rider - but was worried about riding on the street. I of course tried to convince him that he would be ok as long as he was careful and that riding was worth the risk.
Daron leaves behind a nine year old boy.
