I call him my grandson, he is my son-in-laws son from a previous marriage, we are still not sure what happened but he died last night about 6:30 PM yesterday, 3 witnesses say hit and run, police can not make up their mind. His Busa had a flat tire when he came out to go to work in the AM so he was riding his fathers motorcycle, he had gone to work, went to girl friends house and was on the way home on I-95, the tracks indicate a sharp left turn from the left side of the center lane and then bike sliding to the center median, he slide straight down the center lane of the interstate. He was a really good person, everyone that has said anything about him has only had good things to say. I will refrain from stating what I think in regards to the hit and run, it is over and done, I just hope that someday if this is true the person that may have done this will get their just punishment. All you folks that ride bikes out there be careful as there are people that will hurt you and keep on running. R.I.P. Jonathan Holifield you were a great young man of only 22 years, you had a full life ahead of you but it is no more. God Bless and keep you forever.

Thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. So sad and tragic.

Unfortunately I have seen too many lose their life on cycles, or been seriously injured ... lost 2 neighbors within 6 weeks because of people pulling out in front of them ... selling my bike, guy coming to look at it today, because of this.

If you ride, BE CAREFUL and drive defensively. If you do not ride, PLEASE REMEMBER TO LOOK FOR CYCLES!

Very sorry to hear this. I love bikes and used to ride them a lot, but this sort of thing always scares me away from them, these days.
