The 61 year-old motorcyclist, who died in a head-on accident April 21st on Empire Grade Road (between Felton And Bonny Doon), had just begun a cross country trip with friends….that he had planned for years. 61 year-old George Barker’s friends continued the “bucket list” tour in his honor. They had all planned to ride together from Santa Cruz To Santa Monica before taking Route 66 To Las Vegas, and then continuing east….back to Smithtown, New York.
