Today I rode with approximately 200 other motorcyclist in a Memorial Ride for Anita Zaffke, age 56. Ms. Zaffke was killed near my house on Route 12 and Old McHenry Road in Lake Zurich, IL. while she was stopped on her Honda Shadow going southbound on Rt. 12. The defendant was a 48 year old woman who was driving and polishing her finger nails and failed to stop for Ms. Zaffke. Ms. Zaffke was rear ended at approximately 55 miles an hour. So today we honor her memory. It was a very moving to be a part of a ride with mainly Harley-Davidsons. It was really nice to see all of the support that the Zaffke received from all of the riders. Everyone take a moment and realize how Blessed we have been not to have any major accident. Ride safe each and everyday. Look forward to seeing each of you this riding season.
Yeah, I read the story on the web. Sad. I can't believe that lady was painting her nails.
