HI EVERYBODY,

I STARTED THIS A COUPLE TIMES ALREADY AND NEVER FINISHED.

I JUST LOST MY FATHER AND BEST FRIEND MARCH 19, 2009. THE MAN THAT GOT ME MY VERY FIRST BIKE AND TAUGHT ME HOW TO BE A BIKER, FATHER, AND BROTHER TO ALL.

HE WAS A GUY THAT KNEW HOW TO PARTY AND RIDE BUT TOOK CARE OF HIS FAMILY AND LOVED US ALL.

I LIVE 120 MILES AWAY FROM WHERE HE LIVED. HE DIED ON A SATURDAY. I JUST HAPPEN TO BE IN TOWN THE THURSDAY BEFORE HE WAS FOUND DEAD. I STOPPED TO SEE HIM, WE HAD OUR USUAL CONVERSATION ABOUT RIDING AND PARTYING. WHEN I WAS GOING TO LEAVE HE ASKED ME FOR A HUG AND KISS, I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG, HE USUALLY DIDNT ASK FOR THAT UNLESS HE WAS DRUNK OR HIGH. I WALKED OVER GAVE HIM A HUG AND HE DIDNT WANT TO LET ME GO. I MISS HIM SO BAD! I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO TOUCH ANY OF HIS BIKES OR MINE SINCE, JUST CANT GET BACK IN GEAR.

HE DIED AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 50.

Sorry for your loss, life can be strange sometimes. Sometimes the best therapy is being close to something he was passionate about like motorcycles. The loss is tremendous and working on his bikes may be very gratifying when you decide the time is right. Once again sorry for your loss.
