The riding community loses another bikers' rights safety activist! WENDY MOON

The riding community loses another bikers' rights safety activist! WENDY MOON!http://www.bigbendbikersforfreedom.com/2011/01/motorcycle-safety-advocate-wendy-moon.html

Wendy Moon
Motorcycle Safety advocate Wendy Moon, moonrider redux, in the wind. We recently learned that Wendy Moon, of Moonrider redux passed away Monday in St. Louis. Apparently of natural causes after an extended illness.
Wendy has been blogging about Motorcycle Safety for at least as long we even thought about "blogging".

In 2008 her site "Moonrider" went down with a number of others when the hosting service, "typepad", went down. She resurrected the site under the name Moonrider Redux with the tag, "holding powerful interests accountable" at this link, http://wmoon.wordpress.com/.

As an advocate Ms. Moon took on the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, Riders Edge, Harley Davidson, federal agencies and others in the name of "the truth" re: motorcycle safety. A meticulous researcher her posts are long, detailed, accompanied by charts, often times raised as many questions as were answered and could make your head go in circles. We have yet to stumble across anyone who will be able to fill her shoes.

It was our understanding that the original site, like so many others, was not backed up. We hope we are wrong.
On her site profile she wrote about herself:

wmoon I've been a motorcyclist since 1997 and own a 1993 Honda VFR 750 and a 1999 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883. I currently live in St. Louis, MO. When I lived in Los Angeles, CA, for 4.4 years, I gave up a car and rode a motorcycle only and wish that was possible here in MO. I've written many articles for Motorcycle Consumer News, was a co-founding editor of the International Journal of Motorcycle Studies, taught at the University of Southern California.

Here is the link to her second to last post:3,10, 70 and 62: All you need to predict Harley’s (and BMW and Polaris) ten-year future
