I got some bad news this morning. Click Baldwin died in Montana from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident that occurred on Tuesday morning. 

Click was riding a 2009 Harley-Davidson in Lolo, Montana when he had a collision with a 1999 Honda Civic. He hit the rear of the car and was thrown from his motorcycle and hit the pavement and then a road sign. He was rushed to Missoula, MT hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. He was pronounced dead around 11:30 EDT.
 

Click was known for owning the Carolina Harley-Davidson Buell motorcycle dealership in Gastonia, NC and was as a close friend of NASCAR driver Kyle Petty and others in the racing world. He supported many charitable organizations and fundraising events like Petty’s Annual Charity Ride, The Victory Junction Gang and the Speedway Children’s Charities. 

I met him a few times at his dealership when I was a member of that HOG chapter.  A nice man, and great business person.  If you get a minute today, think about his family.
