[QUOTE="Bill, post: 883447, member: 10188"] Here's some information that I found at a local, Montana news site. ============================================================================================================ Alberta motorcyclist dies in Glacier National Park accident Posted: Jul 25, 2011 1:03 PM by Glacier National Park Richard Fish of Alberta has been identified as the motorcyclist who died in Glacier National Park on Saturday. The accident happened at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Going-to-the-Sun Road, about 10 miles east of Lake McDonald Lodge, near the Logan Creek Comfort Station. Fish, 70, was from Cardston, Alberta. Fish was traveling east when he lost control of the bike and skidded into on-coming traffic. Fish was pronounced dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported. The National Park Service is conducting an investigation, with assistance from the Flathead County Sheriff/Coroner's Office and the Montana Highway Patrol. ================================================================================================================= DAMN.... I still remember seeing Ron Major sleeping, with his head laying on his tankbag while parked on the shoulder of I-10 near Beaumont, TX and then finding his ST1100 leaning against a guardrail on I-8 during the 1997 Iron Butt Rally. Even though we are probably beating the odds by riding so many miles and, in all sorts of conditions, it's just horrible when another one of us runs out of luck. [/QUOTE]
