The crash happened around 6:40 p.m. Friday.

Let's try this. Mind your damn business and speak only on what you know. You are a disgrace to the human race as a whole. Motorcycles and the Navy have nothing to do with one another. Try respecting his family and that wanna be "motorcycle gang" as you call them showed up and showed out. Stop hiding behind posts and find something constructive to do before God calls you home.!!

He was obviously not wearing a helmet. His friends say he was, but it was "lost" at the scene? He knew he was supposed to wear ppe in the Navy. Maybe if he wasnt involved with a wannabe biker gang and doing what he was supposed to...i.e. wearing a helmet and yeilding to oncoming traffic he wouldnt have died. People like him ruin it for the real motorcycle riders in the Navy.
