57 year old Carson City guy...........drifted out into oncoming traffic. The paper didn't say what type of MC he was riding or if he was exceeding the speed limit!?

My first thought was 'oh no...hope it's not one of our retired riders out for a nice ride' :(

From the sounds of it he went wide in a corner. Probably a Harley...number one killer for them is riding windy roads and hitting hard parts and being forced wide :(
