At commander's call today they mentioned that one of the motorcyclists killed was a Nelllis troop. It's the one from Callville Bay. His name was Sgt. Ted Everidge. The memorial service for him is tomorrow, Tuesday, 4 March at 1000 atthe Nellis Main Chapel. Initialy reports say alcohol and speeding was not involved.

So sad to hear for all the riders. R.I.P

Police: Cycle Thief Crashes Into Church, Dies
Suspected Cycle Thief Fled From Police

UPDATED: 3:32 pm PST March 3, 2008

CARSON CITY, Nev. -- A suspected motorcycle thief fleeing from police was killed early Monday when he slammed into a church, officials said.

Carson City sheriff's deputies who were pursuing the man, who wasn't carrying any ID, said the motorcycle hit speeds of at least 100 mph before hitting a curb and crashing.

Investigators later determined a new motorcycle had been stolen from a local business. The owner of the shop said the motorcycle required some assembly after being removed from a shipping crate and that would have taken at least an hour.
