I can't understand the Sturgis mentality. No helment, no protection, loud pipes and look cool ...... It's kinda like Halloween, show up with your costume, all looking alike, trying to be different......I call it a utility trailer show....Been thru there during the "rally" and never even took the exit.........
That said, how do you die "passing a truck?".......I'll keep my opinion to myself.....I feel for the family........

One of my guys in-laws had been riding forever. Father is a wrench. Took a two week round trip from TX to NY. Bike got a complete work over before start including fresh tires. On the return leg in AK, a few hours from home, new rear tire failed. FIL broke his wrist and a couple of ribs. MIL, wearing helmet, died from traumatic brain injury.
It always sucks.
