Day is done, Gone the sun, From the lake, From the hills, From the sky. All is well, Safely rest, God is nigh.
My condolences, as always, to an officer lost in the line of duty. Best motorcyclists in the business.
ReplyDeleteSure there's a much greater percentage chance of being seriously hurt or killed in an accident when on a bike than in a car, but a car is a car. A bike you have an affinity with, its very personal. After 43 years in the saddle I still have that affinity.
Thoughts go out to his family and friends.

DeleteCompletely agree. I came later in life to motorcycles and a few years ago moved up to my HD Road King. Nothing is better than cruising on my RK with my wife Beth. As with Officer Tyner it’s a life well lived.
He died doing what he loved and may he RIP.
