Unhappy RIP "fastlane" Ken

I'm sure some of you knew Ken. He and a friend were out on their Ducati 1198's.

Motorcyclist killed in San Diego crash

A 58-year-old motorcyclist has died after a collision on Pacific Highway in Harbor View, San Diego police said.

The crash occurred about 9:35 p.m. at Cedar Street. Officers have blocked the intersection for an investigation.

It appeared that the 26-year-old driver of a southbound 2006 Toyota turned left onto Cedar Street across the path of the motorcyclist, who was unable to stop in time to avoid hitting the other vehicle. He suffered major head injuries. The other driver, a woman, was not injured, police said.

Paramedics performed CPR on the motorcyclist, but they were unable to save him. He died at 9:52 p.m., police Sgt. Dave Jennings said.

VERY sad.

Ken was an awesome guy!!!! I had the pleasure of riding with him a few times, on some meetup rides. Had a nice little chat about his busa and my 10r


Condolences to his family and especially to his friend riding with him.

No, I have no idea. I'll bet that person is having a hell of a day! I'd suspect he/she is with Ken's wife, though.

It was posted elsewhere that Price was with Ken's family today. I imagine he was riding with him at the time. How horrific all the way around. Ken and I both met Price at the Aprilia demo a couple weeks back.
