Thanks to 2strokebuzz for bringing this to our attention (illnoise is on FIRE baby!). This one is a pill that’s hard to swallow. Imagine thesafest biker in the USA… well, he’s gone off to that highway in the sky after being hit by a deer. Even harder to swallow was that he predicted it just a few weeks earlier.

Obituary: Lawrence Grodsky / Top American expert on motorcycle safety: “Lawrence Grodsky, a nationally known motorcycle safety expert and author who taught thousands of riders to handle themselves on the roads, died Saturday on his bike in Fort Stockton, Texas, after being hit by a deer.

He was 55, and had been on his way from a safety conference in California to Pittsburgh for his mother’s 85th birthday, said his sister, Marcia Grodsky.

‘Larry was the most talented, experienced and competent motorcyclist in the country, but this is the one thing he knew he couldn’t do anything about,’ said his girlfriend, Maryann Puglisi, with whom he lived in Squirrel Hill and Washington, D.C., and who helped run his business.

‘Just a few weeks ago he said to me, ‘That’s how I’m going to go, it’s going to be a deer.’ He could deal with all the idiot drivers, but at night when a deer jumps in your path, that’s it and he knew that.’”
