Not sure if he had had a helmet on if it would have saved his life.
I will miss Roadkill around here.

As a long-time rider, I am very sorry to hear this, and I hope his family is doing well.
It is worth remembering that in recent years, more than a third of all motorcycle fatalities have been people over the age of 50, while the total number of deaths has remained relatively unchanged. About a third of the deaths occur in single-vehicle accidents like the one mentioned. I quit riding and sold my last motorcycle a few years ago because traffic in my area pretty much ignores bicycles and motorcycles.
If you drive, keep an eye open for bikes; if you ride, be very defensive and aware of your surroundings.

Wow, sad news. I still ride, but only dirt bikes. This kind of accident happens way too much.
RIP

Very sad news. Roger will be missed.
Massachusetts requires everyone on a motorcycle (and also all minors riding bicycles) to wear a helmet. New Hampshire does not require motorcyclists to wear helmets. I saw quite a few people on motorcycles without helmets in southern Maine July 1; I don't know what the law there is. There's a very active motorcyclists' group in the town where I live that supports worthy charitable causes.

This is terrible news. He added a great deal to this forum. He will be missed.

Wow, I am shocked. I have not seen anything from him in a week or so and this explains it.
He was a biker, I am a road cyclist, and whether one has a motor or not, the wide open road has a strong call and clearly he was enjoying being on the bike. The "road" is also unforgiving and populated with drivers "unimpressed" with the presence of two-wheelers of any sort.
RIP Harley brother.

Sad news. He was always friendly and helpful, and I always valued his insights into HO scale modelling where vehicles were concerned. I wonder why he chose his forum handle.

The handle, strangely prophetic. Roadkill was always friendly and we enjoyed some of the same things as well. He will be missed.

May we get that U25B he always wanted. Penn Central lives Roadkill.
