    SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AFP) – "A motorcyclist was killed after losing
    control of his bike at 385 kilometers (239 miles) per hour and
    crashing on Utah’s famous Bonneville Salt Flats, authorities and
    reports said Thursday.

    The American Motorcyclist Association said in a statement on its
    website that 49-year-old Cliff Gullett of Montana was killed in an
    accident during a time trial at the location, around 185 kilometers
    (115 miles) west of Salt Lake City."

    Somehow I doubt skidding across the salt flats was what he loved best. :)

    No, you forgot - "I doubt skidding across the salt flats at 239 mph was
    what he loved best"

    Of course, once skidding, I'm sure he shaved some numbers off that 239.

    No doubt about that. However, I'm sure he was loving it up to, yet
    excluding the point where the torso meets the road. =8^0

    As Jimmy would say - "I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm
    dead."

    Sorry he is gone, but I'm glad he was doing what he liked when he went.
