I am very sorry to hear about your loss... I lost a dear friend about a year ago... he was riding his Street Glide and a stupid kid jumped into his lane.. it is hard to ride to places where we used to go and realize he is gone..

I will have a cold one in Ryan's name tonight... R.I.P. Ryan.

Sigh. I am sorry sorry to hear of this. It's never easy to hear of a friend's passing, especially that of a close friend of many years, made all the worse by your planned gathering together that he never made it to...but please don't beat yourself up, you couldn't have known or had done anything different to prevent such a tragedy.

Please accept my most sincerest condolences and know that I will pray for your friends soul, and will keep his family and you and yours in my prayers for comfort and strength to get through this. The Lord never gives us more than we can bare, and through Him we will be strengthened, to always remember and honor your friends life through your fond memories of him and your continued friendship and support of his family.

Andy

I'm really sorry for your loss! My condolences to you and your friends family!
When things has already happened its natural to think what one could have done differently.
I know how you feel and I know it's hard but try not to beat your self up wasn't anything you could have done to prevent it.

Keeping his family and you are in my prayers. We ride because it's makes us feel more alive! Things don't make sense to us sometimes, but it's all part of God's plan. Very sorry for your loss.

So sad to hear this. May he R.I.P. and god help you and his family to stay strong.
Don't blame yourself. Everyone have a time to go and when the time comes no one and nothing can delay it.
Every time I hear of a rider who died; I think for a min. to quit riding, not for the fear of what could happen to me, but for the fear of my loved ones suffering for my death for something I enjoyed doing. But then again, everyone dies but not everyone lives.
Be a brother and support his family. pray for him. always remember him and if he survived he would never blamed you for it thats for sure.
Stay strong brother and accept my dearest condolences.
