Why am "I" in all these pics? This supposed to be for Rich.......

Seems like yesterday when he went to North Carolina to bring 'er home...via Tail of the Dragon!!!

He got pissed when I reminded him that he promised "No Mods-No mods at all" then rode off ! We all know better now, don't we??

One of my favs: Although I never caved, IlBruto was mighty happy after the cutting stopped!! I remember him being very worried about somebody with the screen name "RipTearShred" was about to saw up his new S4RS!!!Notice the sick smile on Rich's face !! Always and I mean always offered his helping hand......

Ah, the good times..........Man I miss him.........we'll all miss him.......

Damn, Paul, very sad news to hear.
An easy-going guy and a diligent rider.

My sincere condolences goes out to his family.

My heart hurts. It seems unreal - ever hoping it is just a bad joke gone wrong.

Godspeed Rich. You will be missed.

See y'all on Wednesday.

Does anyone know if this has been documented in the paper yet?

Cathy is throwing a PARTY for Rich this Thursday from 5pm-9pm at One World Theater.
www.OneWorldTheatre.org

EVERYONE is invited and she really wants it to be a CELEBRATION so there's going to be plenty of food and drink.

Cathy might not be able to make it to Mings tomorrow so she asked I let everyone know today.
If anything changes I'll re-post ASAP.

sorry to hear about this, Godspeed Rich

Gone Ape · February 24, 2009, 09:04:03 PM

The outpouring of love here is amazing...........

Cathy told me she wants to see the posts...."all of them - every one of them"

She also mentioned she was thankful for all of us.........we were all such a big part in his life...that we meant so much to him........kind words for sure, THCM....

Remember when he tried to get his knee down and he was so far away I had to Photoshop more lean angle!

GoneApe, any info on funeral arrangements?

txduc · February 25, 2009, 09:12:05 AM

Mike I forgot about that one. That was classic

Actually we talked about that day last week at Mings. We were laughing about how after running the roundabout everyone was pulling wheelies in the parking lot.

azoomm · February 25, 2009, 09:18:39 AM

Mike, that's awesome.

Few things make me speechless - I can't tell you how many posts I've typed... then deleted... then typed again.

There just aren't the words. Rich, thank you. See you on the other side.
