I put the Valk in the garage tonite after riding in from Hot Springs today. What started as an adventure, a ride to Inzane through Iowa and Wisconsin, visiting RJ, visiting Lambeau Field and riding with Gman, Old2Soon, tkylli, and Da Prez, suddenly turned into an endurance race to Hot Springs to be with my family as my father in law was in ICU, then died. We planned his funeral, wrote our eulogies and came together to honor the finest man I've ever known.
It's still too close for me to comprehend everything that happened. The sense of loss is too great at this time.
3630 miles and I'm not sure if I even care about riding again. But that may change.

Prayers & Condolences to you and your family buddy.
It was good to see you again but heard the sad news from someone on the board.
I feel for you. Don't say you will never ride again.
That ain't going to happen partner.

 If you are riding and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast. |

In this wild and wolly world, there are only 3 things you can depend on, your brains, your bros, and your bike. Ride free!!!
A good friend will bail you out of jail. A true friend will be sitting next to saying "Damn, That Was Fun"
