I gave up motorcycles many years ago because I saw how unsafe they were and this was back in the 70s just a shame this young man lost his life

Rest In Peace Kevin. You were an amazing man, friend and human.
Thank you for all you did for your community, he worked with families during to covid virus ensuring families received proper burials for loved ones. Checked in daily on friends fighting viruses in their homes and made sure everyone had what they needed to get by including the local homeless by purchasing them meals from restaurants. Kevin never wanted credit for any of his actions and often stayed behind the scenes. He was a brilliant kind man and a real loss to society.

Sorry for your loss. Im a former rider. I sold my bike because NYC roads aren’t biker friendly, especially at night. May he rest in peace.
