Nordin was hired by the Tulare County Sheriff's Department in December 2006 and worked at the Adult Pre-Trial Facility. He was transferred last month to the Porterville Substation Jail Facility
I knew him personnally. he was a great guy. he was going to meet his wife for a night out because they both had the day off (she is also a deputy) when he was in the accident.

R.I.P. brother...:crying

Sorry to hear about your friend. My thoughts go out to his family.

Similar event happened here with a guy I worked with and knew very well. Brought his bike into work one day - left for lunch and never came back.

terrible, terrible news. I get extra sad if the rider left a wife and kids behind. The day I marry may be the day I retire from bike riding...

RIP.

Nah, man. You just gear up and learn to ride well within your limits. Give the wife/kid a big hug before you go out and try not to think about it.

Sad to read.
I hope it wasn't his fault, then again... It's hard to wrap my mind around it, especially when I ride so much... plus I have my first little one on the way.

RIP brother, RIP.
