Did I hear this correct?
On the same day . . . he bought a Sportster and a helmet. Cut the chin strap off the helmet. Left the dealership in Macon, Georgia riding the bike with his friends(and girlfriend) following in a car. He was runnin' along at a fairly good speed, and clipped a wrecker-type truck and crashed pretty heavy. Allman really didn't look that busted up, but he had some bad internal injuries. They got him to the hospital, but it was too late.
24 yrs old. What a loss...Berry Oakley a year to the day later crashed his Triumph and died. Same age.
