Title: Rider dies in Lehigh, Ft Myers
Post by: Thrumud on August 20, 2006, 11:16:11 PM
I was out there with the Caloosa Jeep Club riders in my Jeep Sunday 20th.  I think I saw the guy watching us go through water.  ABC 7 News say the dirtbike rider was wearing a helmet and protective gear.  News say the rider was thrown off his bike and died on site.  His wife saw him die. I will post more later.  My prayers go out to the family.

Please, know your limits when you ride.

Here is a couple of articles I found.  Not saying much.

That's terrible. I hate to see anyone get hurt. Let alone killed. I hope he didn't have any small children. My heart goes out to the family.
