Dear NM Friends,
It is with a heavy heart that I post this. We here in DFW lost one of our members yesterday to an accident. Charles DeCastro (CDC online name) passed yesterday after colliding broadside with a van driven by an 88 y.o. lady who turned suddenly in front of him. He was a great guy. A great friend. Pictures on our board.
Charles recently rode to WSBK in Utah. Last year he rode to the Indy MGP. He was a true rider and loved riding.
I know how close knit we all are and how we all care about other Ducatisti. Even though only a few hundred miles stretch between us it's not that far away from our hearts when we hear of such news. I felt very fortunate to meet quite a few of you at DiTR 2009 and do look forward to riding with ALL of you next year.
The notice:
The visitation will be this Friday from 5-7 PM at Thompson’s Harveson and Cole Funeral Home located on 702 8th Ave., Fort Worth. The vigil will follow from 7-9 PM.

That is sad indeed. May he canyon carve all the way to the Pearly Gates. Too many motorcycle acidents have a similar ring to them. Ride as if your invisible to to all around.
Thanks guys for your concern. This is what keeps us all tight. Ride safe.
