I pick up on this:

"Just three miles after leaving the dealership, Strang was along side a tractor trailer, and for unknown reasons struck the side of the rig and was thrown underneath, and was killed instantly."

Maybe he should not have gone on the street with a new "unknown ride" until knowing more about how to ride it?
Just saying.....

Imagine being poor all your life and winning the lottery only to die in a plane crash on your first trip to somewhere you had always wanted to go.... It happens!

Sorry to hear about this news honestly! It's sad when stuff like this happens :(
But I can relate! Wife would not let me have a motorcycle until the Spyder came out!

I remember a young guy who brought me his Honda inline four 750 to work on. He babied it but when the
V-4 Intercepter came out he had to have it. He scratched up all he could borrowed what he could and traded his bike in and got his dream bike. After servicing it and trying to explain the differences in handling he flew out of the dealership. Hour later tow truck pulled in with a clump..lost it on the freeway a mile from the shop. It happens I truly feel for his wife and family..:pray::pray:

Sad is putting it mildly, too too bad and sad. Don't know what else to say.

Sometimes it's too easy to start looking at just the problem, not the entire picture... :opps:
