I'll say it again...you guys are f@&kin awesome!
I worked in the motorcycle business for the bettter part of twenty years. I was also an instuctor with the M.S.F, for almost seven of those years. So, when I say I have seen some gnarly stuff! I'm not exaggerating...none.
I lost a great friend, John Myers. He was a three time NHRA World and three time AMA Pro Stock Drag Bike Champion. Not to mention one of the greatest guys you'll ever meet. World class rider, but he got in over his head, hit a guardrail and died 30 yards in front of me. Two weeks later, on a memorial ride for him, I lost a second friend that was hit by a drunk driver.
After countless funerals, benefit rides and preaching "Safety First" like a I was a TV evangelist. I go and get pitched 43 feet, into oncoming traffic...uh, I mean...after "flying" into oncoming traffic and surviving the sloppy landing...yeah, that sounds better. I decided quick, fast and in a hurry...I had ridden for the last time.
I do miss it. But the passion I put into motorcycles had to be put somewhere..right? That's how/why I ended up here...still winning!
Ultimately, I'm just glad to be here with some of the coolest folks I have ever had the honor of calling my friends.
Much love to all of you guys!
