    Default "Beyond Starbucks" and my riding buddy Doug

    As many of you know, Doug and I traveled this country together. In fact we were to leave this Friday morning on a trip to the Midwest.

    Well,we lost Doug Saturday(suddenly, and of natural causes) to say he will be missed seems such an understatement. He, was always on his K1600(his third in a half dozen years with, i'll guess > well over 140K split between them). He never knew till we pulled out whether I'd be on the Spyder or FJR (it didn't matter to him...it was about the passion to ride not what you rode).
    Damn!!!

    Doug lived life to the fullest and always "Beyond Starbucks"

    "Beyond Starbucks" was Doug's way of kidding the gallon riders. A gallon will get you to Starbucks and back home.



    RIP Buddy
