Now i'm pissed! Apparently a 16 year old teenybopper who
just got her license last week ran a red light in front of
Carroll. What a fucking shame. All the more reason to
keep your guard up and ride like everyone's out to get
you.
I know I'll never feel cpmpletely secure on my
bike...maybe that's a good thing.

Y'all most likely have never heard of Carroll Setzer, since he wasn't a member of this list, but he was the first person I met after I got my Eldo that rode a Guzzi too. He loaned me the first copy of Guzziology and the original owners manual i ever saw. He had a fully dressed 1974 LAPD Eldo that he sold to get the HD he was riding last night. He also has had several other Eldos and Ambos thru the years. I don't know the details, but apparently he T-boned a Chevy Blazer at an intersection...don't know if he ran a light or if the other driver did. Carroll had ridden all his life and I would think he wouldn't make stupid mistakes, but who knows. Anyway, I'll miss Carroll a lot. Even though we weren't real close, I hate losing a member of my community to a bike wreck. On a positive note, Carroll's death is the first motorcycle fatality this summer. Pray that no more go down.
