Richard Fariña - Motorcycle Crash

One of these was Willie Hinds, an inexperienced biker who sometime during the course of the evening offered Fariña a ride on his newly acquired Harley Davidson. As the pair reached 100 mph weaving through the rolling hills on the winding roads of Carmel, Hinds failed to make a bend, skidded and lost control of his bike. Hinds survived the wipe out with minor injuries but Fariña was hurled across two fences into an embankment and died immediately.

Richard Fariña born March 8, 1937, died April 30, 1966
