Riding All The Time
RIP rider.
I never met Neil, but he sounds like a stand up guy.
Neil lived in my city, and was punted off hiway 17 (the section I ride 5 days a week) by a cager changing lanes into him, at what sounds like the same spot where a cager did the same thing to me, almost sending me to the pavement just a few months ago.
This just hits too close to home for me.
A nice write about Neil here:

about the incident from the santa cruz sentinel:
Decorated Vietnam veteran and Soquel High graduate Cornelius “Neil” Talbert of Scotts Valley has been identified as the motorcyclist killed Friday in a crash near Redwood Estates on Highway 17, according to the Santa Clara County medical examiner’s office.
Talbert, 69, was driving a 2016 Harley-Davidson motorcycle that collided with a gray Honda Accord on southbound Highway 17 north of Madrone Drive at 11:45 a.m., said CHP Officer Ross Lee.
Thomas Karl Harness, 53, of Soquel struck Talbert while changing lanes in his Honda Accord. Talbert lost control of the vehicle, which overturned, and the impact ejected him onto the road and down an embankment of dirt and rock, Lee said. He suffered major internal injuries and was pronounced dead around 1 p.m. at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center.
Alcohol or drugs are not believed to have been factors, Lee said.
(and sorry if this is the wrong sub forum for this. Move as needed)
