Default RIP Gary Arnette

Lost a friend last night to a bike accident, Gary Audette. May God be his wingman until we see him again.

Gary was an all around good guy, always had a smile on his face and extended his hand to any stranger. You'll be missed!

Gary's friends and family are meeting at the Bayard Rooster tomorrow at at 3:30 pm, then riding over to the funeral home. Afterwards, we're headed back to the Rooster to celebrate Gary's like and times. Anyone who knew him or of him are welcome.

Awsome turnout Wednesday for the service! I'm guessing close to 100 bikes or more. Standing room only. Gary would have loved it...

Special thanks to Steve and his staff at the Rooster. If you've never been there, it's the biker version of Cheers, where everbody knows your name.
