A Sacramento County Sheriff officer died today on his motorcycle. I mention it here, as he apparently was a competitor in the leo drills, and may have recently been here in Carson to compete. To Mike C, I am sure you knew they guy...and my thoughts are with his family, and yours.

I was trying to wind down a bit, it's been a rough day. Larry was my friend and my brother, I've seen him ride that BMW into the ground and do things that you wouldn't think could be done. He was one of if not the most talented motor officers I've ever seen. I was fortunate enough to see him recently which makes this so much more difficult. I thank you for your well wishes and the wonderful picture of him. Please remember him and the sacrifice he gave in the line of duty.

This is truly sad, i believe this is the news article on the incident.  I cannot imagine and would not want to imagine going thru this.  Its one thing passing on riding a bike and doing something you love but its another when it happens when he was doing his job and attempting to help make it a safer area for others.   My heart goes to there family!

My respect and admiration for Moto Cops just grows deeper when something like this happens. My thoughts are with his family, his entire department and many friends.  I was home yesterday watching TV when this happened, it was not easy to watch as they paned the accident site showing his bike, it made my heart hurt to see it.

His love of riding is evident in the photos posted here.

God Bless.

I watched Suberbikes this Tuesday and saw the one where a local track day provider was working with the CHP trying to get riders to come out to the track. I was inspired
As it always happens I was working on Wednesday and say a friend of mine Ken Howard a Judge in the Reno Court system. I suggested our club get involved to him. He mentioned the the City Traffic division is always looking for ways to change things up.
I know we would be treading on fragile turf, But I think it's something that could benefit the club in a Hugh way as well as the RFR Track.         What's your views?????????
