Ever sice i mentioned the spring texas run to Wally last month he talked about it constantly Earl. two days ago we went to the KAWA dealer and he ordered over 1K of lights and doo dads to make the trip. Yesterday morning he took his last ride. The thing i wanted to post was the newspaper article and photo of the wreck.
Losing a biker buddy in nothing new to most of us but this slob was the most carefull law biding person i ever rode with. A real pain in the tush that way. We argued about the speed we would travel at. I wanted to make the 600 mile run to Beaumont in one day. I said i would cruise at about 80 because we were on interstate 75 and 10 for most of the trip. He said he wouldnt break any speed limits. Now the police report that he ran a traffic light. It was foggy though. But he was so rediculiously carefull.
I also know a long time buddy of his. A retired trooper from upstate N.Y. and he also has a tough time believing the guy ran the light.
Well thats it.

BTW i bought a 1982 honda cm200t with 5400 miles on tt. I hope to get lots of gas mileage and also give it ti Rocky if she wants it.
I cant find mileage info any where.
 
Sorry to hear that Dom,
thats terrible news.
Hard to believe some one who was so carefull could run a light?
John.
 
Thats terrible Dom. I dont guess we will ever know for certain if he ran the light or somone ran it from the side, crossing in front of him, or with the fog, maybe he didnt see the light???

Its not the crazies you see that will get you. Its the ONE you dont see.

I never like to hear about this. My 73 year old uncle spends his retirement riding his huge 1500cc Honda (gonna post pics on my web site soon) hearing this stuff always makes you think.
 
I'm sorry to hear this ... It would have been great to have him along. :(

Are you still going to make it?? :) 8)

Sorry to hear about your friend. :cry:
Thanks for the photo though. Looking at it may save one of us some day. It reminds me of how careful we have to be. I don't know the true cause either, but the next time I'm in a hurry or want to save a minute, I'll keep that photo in my thoughts.
 
Loss....

Loss....

Scotty:
I'm sorry for your loss...Such a thing really strikes us all hard within our community here. Perhaps we may never know the truth of what happened.
One day for sure you may note a particular smile, laugh or look on someones face..and hopefully it will put a smile on your face reminding you of your departed friend Wally.
Rick..........

thats a nice thought Rick. let me confess a bit now. Wally was a royal pain but the kind you had to love. he was an honest and moral man. His life was full of trouble and i almost am glad he is at peace now. Yes i do miss the guy. He had a Mercury marauder whic he loved to show off. Wally didnt know what a real fast bike was like and used to bring his friends around just to have me start the motor on my 1100e.
Once while we were out on our bikes , I wacked the throttle from a stop light but never went over 6 grand and he thought my machine was the fastest thing on two wheels. I didnt have the heart to tell him that the bike he worshiped ((kawa voyager 12)) was a touring bike not a hot rod. But Wally was a good soul and i am just starting to miss him now.
He came to visit me even if he didnt
need a favor. Thats rare after folks find out you can fix things.
Thanks for the uplift Rick.
 
sorry scotty,................................. I know as most of do its tough to lose a friend, especially doing somthing we all love to do. Hang in there buddy
 
It's never easy to see pictures like that, and I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend and a fellow rider. I know I will be minding my p's and q's. Now if only someone would tell folks in 4 wheeled vehicles to mind theirs around us.
