Re: From the son of Serge Morgan

My name is Ben Morgan, Serge is my Dad. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. I'm not sure about my father activity on this forum, but I do know he was an active scooter and Vespa enthusiast. While we don't have all the details about the accident, I can tell you he lived his life to the fullest and left us doing what he loved.

Dad was on his way to meet me at the hwy 25/ hwy 198 intersection where we would ride the rest of the day (I ride a sportster, but please don't hold this against me ) down to my house in Paso Robles. He didn't show so I backtracked his route eventually finding him. Dad was a good, responsible, skilled rider. He was wearing full gear and was even sporting his new $600 Shoei. Best guess to what happened is he was trying to avoid an accident, perhaps a deer. Who knows.

He received in the mail today stickers for his new Vespa that say "Live to Scoot, Scoot to Live". Please keep riding and ride safe. Much love and thank you for your support.

The service for my father, Serge Morgan, will be held on Monday, November 12th at Gan Yarok at Fernwood
301 Tennessee Valley Road
Mill Valley, CA 94941
2pm

I'm sure he'd love to see a Vespa there.

-Ben Morgan

Ben,

My condolences to you and your Family. Fine looking man and judging by the smile on his face, your Dad enjoyed his scoot!

Again, my condolences and although you seem to have a good support group, reach out to someone to talk to if you need to and please remember the good times!

Wayne and Family and our Riding Family in Hawaii!

Ben, I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and your family and your friends during this difficult time. I know if I was in the area I would be proud to ride my scooter to his service.

PTW riders are a breed apart, and living outside the box has it's price, but most of us wouldn't trade it for anything.

Godspeed Serge. Stay safe fellow riders.
