RIP Michael Kehrer

by mandi on Jan.22, 2010, under MEMBERS SECTION


To all who want and need to know:

Michael was diagnosed with a heart condition when he was seven years old and had undergone two major open-heart surgeries.

Michael  was an experienced and consumate rider, however as he took his Final corner, his heart stopped.
Michael lived his life to the fullest.
He was as passionate about flying as he was about riding his ST3 and was just about to have his first solo flight.
What none of us were aware of, was that Michael knew this could happen at any time.
So like Michael.

Michael died doing what he Loved and will  be Missed terribly.

Description;This is not a commercial venture but a traditional “Open Ride”, with riders choosing to do all or part of it as the spirit moves them. All part of the charm. Originally, it follows the route to the now defunct Unapproachable Rally, at Tintaldra held by the Vic, chapter of the Norton Club, many years ago. Some of us Duke riders kept the ride part of it going because it was such a pearler. All bikes/riders welcome. etc.
