You're a good man, Joe. You did an honorable thing to complete a friend's last wish.
That photo of the view with the beam of light running through is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing!

Joe,
Thanks for sharing Terry's last ride, great write up and pictures. So glad you were able to finish spreading Terry's ashes.
From your pictures he sure enjoyed the ride.
Take care my friend.

Thanks for sharing my friend,
My first trip down the dragon sometime in 2009-2010 was with T-bird. For a flatlander from Illinois (at the time) pucker factor was at max trying to keep up with him... White knuckled many of turns...
Dude was a hoot and hell of a rider.

Like others have said Joe good job for a good friend.
What more could a riding buddy ask of a friend?

Great job Joe! Every time that I have been across the Dragon since the day that we spread Thumper's ashes. I've stopped at the overlook to say HI or at least waved as I passed by. I think it's very fitting that T-Bird and Thumper are now riding the Dragon together. |

That is a very good thing you did for your friend. I have a friend that did something like for another friend of his. He spread his ashes in different places from the Smokes to Pikes Peak, put over 4000mi. on his bike doing it. It takes a very special person like you and my friend to do something like this.
