Rest in Peace, FastlaneKen ---- *UPDATE* for Memorial, & Mem. Ride
It is with extreme regret that I break the news that one of our newest members, and a new friend of mine, Ken S. (aka FastlaneKen) was involved within a fatal accident last night.
Last night, following me, Ken was riding his barely 2+ week old 1198. I passed through an intersection, and noticed he wasn't there. What happened, a women, barely legal to drive, made an illegal left u-turn in front of Ken and essentially hit Ken head on with her car. Police reports is blaming her 100%. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and probably didn't feel a thing.
He was loved by people of all walks of life, and had finally saved up to buy his dream bike, the Ducati. Both of us were going from Hayabusa's to Ducs, and were looking forward to scraped knuckles, expensive repairs, sore wrists and back, and LOUD noises in the new chapter that was Ducati ownership.
Ken leaves behind a beautiful wife of many, many years, and a young daughter of only 17. He was 58 years old.

This is really sad news. Enjoyed seeing the pic of Ken's new bike overlooking San Diego Bay and was happy to have a new owner in this big family.
Rest in peace.
Our thoughts are with your family...

Saddens me anytime I hear this about a fellow rider. Good reminder to expect the worst whenever riding. RIP Ken
