Another rider was killed at the Gap today and unfortunately it happened to be one of the most helpful and most passionate riders on my bike specific forum. He was only 22 and loved riding. The board was doing their yearly gap meet and him and one of the admins actually were doing an iron butt to get there. They made it and sadly the admin will now be riding home solo.

According to the tailofthedragon.com, its the third rider this year to get killed in that specific corner.
