Default RIP Ride

A friend and I decided to ride over to Seattle and check out some famous grave sites...

Jimi Hendrix











Kurt Cobain - He was actually cremated and some of his ashes dispersed around the area. The house in the background is where he allegedly killed himself and the park bench has become a makeshift memorial.











Bruce Lee & Brandon Lee





And a food stop afterwards

Curious, is there a story behind the numbers "7" & "343"?

I've wanted to see this place, don't know if I would say allegedly killed himself. I don't doubt he did it himself, it's too bad, but true.

Hey, I saw your bike the other weekend at Legend HD. Your Sporty was one of the five bikes that dominoed. And then I saw you again this Sunday at Purdy, I think (yours is the 343 bike isn't it?), to join the procession to Silverdale. That was an awesome experience. I'll never forget it.

Not sure why my friend selected the number 7 but the 343 is a tribute to the NYFD firefighters killed on 9/11.

Agreed. But there are those that think that he was murdered (American's love conspiracy theories).
