Al did she tell you the circumstances and did excessive Commando speed or truck speed or both come into play? I've read Jeff's log on his first epic journey and going fast was not mentioned, just trying to make it w/o a new break down while loaded down dodging constant hazards of all sorts. Anywho nothing to really learn but any mc is dangerous lack of full control of life and limb. I always ask myself how lucky i feel and sometimes can talk myself out of it.

Al, Jeff & then others are still flashing though daily. If ya ride ya can die no fault of your own any where any time. I know its a blood sport - hobby and what its feels like trying survive dying of impact crush blood lost and nerve shock if not hit so hard ***

Jeff is example of brave dude striking out with what I call scared confidence, moving from homeland to create a business plus epic scale tours on Commando he basically learned as it failed past points of no return.

Hit hard enough, like my ultralight smack - blank gone painless. Others with head and neck injury were horrific from 1st instant to over a year later. Some like falling down trees or tumbling from race track ya only feel bones-joints-ligaments parting and thuds.

I've been practicing since my younger brother Dale's out of the blue death to remember ride events, mostly the merely pleasant ones with eye popping scenery and the mellow engine sounds in case I'm merely disabled and not killed out right next time out. Every now and then I image-in what scenes someone like Jeff was filled with. I should of taped his Commando riding Rat on inside of my office window, ugh, thought I could get another sometime.
