You have my deepest sympathy Dude. I know how you feel, I lost my Dad last Feb. and I miss him terribly. I was not close with my Dad and that was my fault with the life choices I made in the past. I live and carry that every day and it's a heavy load to haul around. I am sure each and everytime you ride you honor him and that makes him happy. Remember, it's not good by but C-you later.

That's so sad, he was just a few years older than me.

Lost my dad last Spring, he was 81 but never liked motorcycles. You were lucky to be able to ride with him.

Sorry about your loss, Rocky. I know it sucks. My dad died on his bike 10 years ago, and I miss him every day.

Hey man, be a good man now, and let the past go. Any good Dad just wants what is best for his kids. Don't let the guilt weigh you down. My kids usually think I will be mad at them
for stuff I don't care about. Its just when they don't care about
mistakes that it bugs me.

Sorry to hear about your loss. My Dad and I have ridden together over the years, and I know that won't last. His health has already stopped most of our riding these days, and at 70 I don't know how many more we have. My prayers are with you, keep your memories close. May God be with you and your family always, and especially during these tough times.
