Sorry to hear that bro. My prayers to him and his family and you also, Think about it would your buddy want you to think like that? Think of the good times you guys had together some people will never in there lifetime have that kind of friendship. My Grandmother always said We seldom think of what we had, but always think of what we miss.....Hang in there. Lou

This was an interesting and unique situation, i was hoping it would work out better for this fellow, i sure do feel bad for his folks.

Anyway, i never wanted to be the "Safety Bitch", in the interest of safety., maybe if i was,,, we would be lucky and keep a few folks in the group out of trouble, and to offer a counter point to excessive encouragement to continually ride faster on the street, via the underlieing theme of this board, i figured i would step up and offer the counter point and maybe have a few laughs besides.
Its unforgiving, im not a social worker type, i dont care anymore, crashem, wreck em, death, mayhem, mangle, bring it on girls and boys, its sure to be an exciting season and we havent even gotten started yet.
I have literally stacked bodies in a recent past life, nothing here is going to make me sick or otherwise shock me, ive collected body parts, seen people get decapitated, cruched and any number if things that are unpleasant way to expire, i know what i am talking about and know the direction some unfortunate folks on this board are headed, dont care, enjoy the ride and carefree attitudes, doesnt make a shit to me what people do, never did, does less now.
I dont care what people wear, ride, drink, controlled and illegal substances, knock yourselves out, rock and role, i dont give a rats ass.
No more disapointments, cuz i dont care, i'm safe and the people i will ride with will be safe and sane, or i wont be around them,,, otherwise its all good entertainment isnt it.
Please dont think i have a bad attitude, mine has never been better, im back in combat mode, no one is going to ruin this hobby for me. :)

And thats what im talking about.http://www.aaanimations.com/happy/yahoosize100infident.gif

I got your Six :cool:
Been there done that shit ,And not going back.

My Dad went up against some shit in his day. Stacked bodies too, after his division liberated Dachau. I think those combat times hardened him in a way, and therefore hardened his children. Yet at the same time, he couldn't stop crying one day we were together about a month after our dog/his dog died - which said to me his was still a "softie" at heart. I'm sure you're bummed somewhere in there. I am for you as well.

Death sucks. No way around it.

Sorry brother

[1000RR]

Sorry for your loss A.B., I'm here for ya bro, whatever you need. Talk, rant, scold, whatever it takes to ease the pain. But keep this in mind, If I crash and burn and eventually grow wings remember I went out doing what I love. Don't anybody shed a tear for me, I wouldn't have it any other way. Life is a risk, some make it further along than others. It really bites losing someone you care about, no matter how. But hey, we all have to go someday right. Your a good man Gary, I think we all know that. I hope I don't offend you, just speaking from the heart bro.

[Acidburn]

no no no, no issues with anyone here, this is the best bunch-0-bananas ive ever run into.
RR, you know i think that same about you. :)

[Acidburn]

I heard a rumor today at Sears Point, so far only a rumor, this talk of the Safety Bitch being dead may be over exagerated on my part, im hearing today that she just hauled ass, is over sparking Toothy tonight, now if the Safety Bitch hooks up with JT, we are all gonna be in trouble.

[jerrykap]

Say what you will...I know it still hurts. This coming Monday afternoon I'll be attending the headstone unveiling ceremony of my good friend James, who passed away almost a year ago against a pine tree on his way to Middletown. I think of him every day and those he left behind. And I'm trying to act and ride accordingly for the sake of those who may actually care about me.

I share your pain AB.

C-ya, Jer

Jerr, send me the details on Mr. Steichels event monday.
If i can make it i would like to go, if it is not private. You know i missed the services last year. I think i can get through it now. I know how close you were to James, i would like to go for you especially.
I miss James and talk of him often, we have ridden by that spot many times in the past weeks with this new group. I have mentoined that event many times, i think many are tired of the constant reminder, i cant let that one go, ever, i continually wonder, what would James tell us now, it was worth it?, i seariously doubt it.
The exepreinced people in this group are not my concern, never were,, most of them know what they are doing and the risk reward profile issues, most or all of them have been down at least once, some more, we are attracting a ton of newbies, and i mean newbies, not just to the group but to riding and even sport riding in particular.
Some of them are on the Endangered Species List, sad but true.

Jerr,
Pls do send me the details on James Memorial Monday, thx, Gary

Here are the details:

The unveiling ceremony for James' headstone will be Monday, March 21, 2005 at 11:30am at the Davis cemetery, 8th & Pole Line, Davis, CA 95616.

Immediately following the ceremony, friends and family are invited to gather for remembrance and refreshments to be served at the shop of the Student Experimental Farm where James spent a good deal of his time. The shop is located at the west end of Extension Center Drive on the Davis campus. Driving directions will be available at the unveiling.

Garry, if you like you can come over to my place in the morning and we can go together. Afterwards we can have a smoke in my garage while we lick our wounds. C-ya, Jer

[scuseme]

James' death was one of the hardest things I've had to get through, ever. So far, I've been very fortunate in that I've only lost two close friends. One in a car accident (no seatbelt), and James in his (still mystifying) crash.

Garry, like you, when James died, I was angry. It was so unfair! He was so young! He was such a good rider! He had such a beautiful wife and family! I still wanted to ride with him! My anger has since softened to acceptance. Please don't let your friend's passing make you bitter or resentful....

I think of James every time I throw my leg over my bike. I truly believe that he watches out for me when I ride. It helps a lot, but I miss him very much.

I'll be at the memorial Monday. In some ways I can't believe it's been a year, but it feels like eons since I last saw him.

Jer, let's ride out to James' tree as soon as I get my bike back, ok? I need to see the plaque again...
