“Words cannot describe what “Click” Baldwin has meant to me, my family and the Victory Junction Gang Camp. Back in 1995, he and I, along with a few other close friends, were just a group of guys that wanted to ride our motorcycles across the country. We found out that we could raise some money for charity while doing it and the Kyle Petty Charity Ride was born. While it had my name on it, “Click” was a driving force behind the ride. There has never been a more giving human being. He was more than a friend; he was like a brother to me. Please keep his wife Diane, his daughter Chelsea, his Mom, his brother and his Carolina Harley-Davidson family in your thoughts and prayers. We have lost a great one.”

Clifton “Click” Baldwin passed away after sustaining fatal injuries in a motorcycle crash while on his way to Sturgis. Come on people, what’s it going to take for the general public to be more alert to the motorcyclist? I ride and I can tell you from personal experience, people in cars need to get off the cell phones, quit fighting with the kids or just open their eyes while driving. I usually avoid driving in the city for that very reason.
With gas prices near four bucks a gallon, two wheel vehicles are going to become more and more common on our streets. Maybe we should hold people criminally liable of negligence for fatal accidents involving motorcycles and that would open people’s eyes to the problem.
