That's not quite accurate. He has been riding since 15 and was his passion. His previous bike was also a BMW and he had just bought this bike for a trip down East, that he and his wife had planned. He was also described as a very cautious rider that always wore full riding gear.
The riding group that he rode with plan on following the precession on their bikes.
Just an unfortunate accident; that we all have to try and be ready for.
R.I.P.
