jefftheref Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 I travelled SR 46 quite often when my Mom and Sister lived in Belmont back by the T.C. Steele site. That road always scared the you know what out of me. Prayers and Condolences to the Bailey family on this terrible tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 That's a beautiful road for motorcycling...been on it several times as we love the area and have some ground near Belmont we hope to put a weekend cabin on some day. Sounds like Mr. Bailey was minding his own business and likely tried to take evasive action when he saw the car pull out to pass. What a tragedy...am lifting up the family.

Seeking6 Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 I don't want to take away from the news so mods please delete if necessary. I'll never forget at age 18 all I wanted to do as a kid from Illinois was to go to IU. Generations of IU blood in my family . My first H105 discussion class on Friday at Ballantine I'm sitting there and guy is calling attendance. Guy goes...Bailey, Damon. I'm sitting there going oh Lord he's sitting next to me. Funny part was he had a UK hat on the time... when those rumors started to swirl. Followed him across campus because I couldn't believe I was seeing Damon in person. The stories, folklore,etc....and obviously the performance on the court. Prayers up to his family. Imagine his parents are only in early 70's. Still young. Hate to see people lose their lives to accidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condolences to you on your loss. Thank you! Doesn’t matter how old you are or how it happens...just something special about a son and dad...especially as close as I’m sure they were. I don’t know how these young kids without a male figure in their life do it honestly. I always thought id probably die young like my dad too but with a kid I couldn’t bear to miss anything in her life...nor disappoint her...so trying to be much healthier and make sound decisions...but like we see here..we never know how long we have on this earth. Make the most of it and leave try to make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy1987 Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 How tragic and sad. Thoughts and prayers to Damon, the family and their friends. When I lived in Columbus my wife and I would drive that same highway daily going to work in Btown. It's a beautiful route especially in the Fall. Very dangerous though as it winds through the hills of Brown County. There are like two passing zones the whole way. Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
