he wrecked where? seeing someone die in a crash is bad enough but when i see a bike wreck it hits home. we lost "one of us" type things.

we cant control when we pass but everything we do until then.

Dang, man, sorry to hear about your loss! I give a toast as well. At least you can take the thought that he died doing something he really loved. I know that isn't much solace, but nobody knows the day or hour when your time will come. I'mglad you came here to talk to us. We are all like a family here. God Bless!

That's too bad. Especially when that didn't have to happen either.

Sorry about your friend, it is never easy losing someone no matter how they went. Thats why I never race or drive really agressively at night on the bike. To many things that could go wrong. I was actually plannig a bike ride that way this summer. hitting the Bear Tooth pass, Chief Joseph Highway then riding up to Cody. Maybe we could meet up sometime.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ i was actually going to head out to the chief josoph tomarrow kind of just a good alone mountain ride. would love to have some guys up this way to ride, always have all of our hospitality. last summer we had about 1500 hells angels in town for a month or so pretty awsome we rode alot with those guys. i think anyone would love the mountains we have the twisties have speed limits of 65mph through the whole mountains so we never have to worry about cops going through cuz i dont ever go over 65 in a turn marked 20 lol
