ST. PETERSBURG - A 38-year-old Largo man was killed Sunday afternoon after he lost control of his motorcycle while exiting Interstate 275, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Richard Grondin Jr., of 12359 Cumberland Drive, was riding north on the exit to Roosevelt Boulevard when he lost control of his Katana Sportbike on a curve, the patrol said. He struck a guardrail and was thrown over the guardrail in the 12:19 p.m. wreck, the patrol said.
Grondin was wearing a helmet.
============
I hadn't met him yet, but ZukiFred had suggested that we meet in the near future and we had plans to do so once I finished the big home-improv projects our new place calls for.
RIP Gekisho.
