Sorry to hear things like this. I lost my best friend and best riding buddy in January. I'll never quit riding, but there are many time that it just does not feel the same not having him and his wife on rides/trips with us anymore. Don't know if I'll ever not miss him on some of our favorite rides.

I'm sure you will have these same feelings if he rode with you often. Please just be careful out there, it's not safe even in a cage anymore. Drivers just seem to have their head in their a$$ these days (cell phones does not help either).
