Those of us in Florida had a good riding friend, Tom Frost(Sealskinner), that went to his reward recently. Another good friend, Paul(Easygoer), put together this YouTube collection of pictures with the background music; The Last Ride. Guess I'm getting soft in my old age, but remembering a good buddy really got to me.

Two months gone but I know he will always be with a lot of us. I cannot look at much less ride my Valkyrie without thinking of Tom. He was more than a riding buddy to me, he was like that wise neighbor guy that Tim Allen used to talk to over the fence on that Tool Time show. We started as Valkyrie friends & ended up just friends. RIP older brother. Took this pic at the Deland Bikefest 2 years ago. He loved sittin' on his Valk watching the insanity going by.  Tom took this pic of Kim & I enjoying our Valks on Main St. Daytona BW. He pointed out the folks looking at the Valks as we rode by. I never caught it. One of my favorites.  |

The vidieo slideshow was a great tribute.
However the Pretenders "Last Ride" was the most appropriate music for the tribute.
Sealskinner,...look down on us and guide the lost ones home.

Nice tribute...looks like Sealskinner had alot of good friends...made me think of a couple of friends no longer with us up here...  ...Tiny...he was a giant of a guy with a heart to a match..  ...and Bob Wright...he could ride that Valk like no one I have ever saw...wheelie so high he would scrap asphalt off his trailer hitch... I miss them both.... |
