i lost my best friend and riding buddy, CHUCK was a great guy who really got me into riding and helped me out wrenching when i needed it. he was 62, a year younger than me and we talked and rode every day. this year i stayed home most of the summer because i couldn't handle the heat, and he rode every day that he could. so today when i went out it was 54 degrees and my type of riding weather, and i can't believe how much i miss my old grouch of a friend and riding buddy. i rushed him to the hospital 3 weeks ago and it turned out he had a brain aneurism, they opened his head and fixed that and installed a drain, but after all that he suffered 4 heart attacks and a few strokes and went on life support. i was at the hospital every day in Manhattan with him till his family took him off life support and he left us.

RIP my good buddy, i really miss you

My sympathy, cheer up bud!

Sad to learn of your sorrow filled loss. Never an easy time to be let down.

Think only of the best times and cherish those memories.

Hope you took plenty of great pics, as we often take our good times for granted.

Go for a long ride in his memory...

Don't mourn his life; celebrate it! :thumbup:
I was never fortunate enough to meet him, but I'm sure that He'd want to think about him on each and every ride...
That way; he's still with you, and out on the road!
