Title: riding buddy killed
Post by: ampm7 on November 27, 2021, 12:27:22 PM: My long time friend and riding buddy was killed on his brand new Indian FTR1200. He was a very experienced rider having competed in numerous Baja races along with Malcolm Smith. He was 67 years old and crashed into a 22 year old motorcyclist. I don't have the accident report as he wife has not received it yet but it may explain what happened. The 22 year old is in grave condition. My preliminary guess is it was head on. I sorely miss you Jeff!
