He was always very conservative and cautious. He was always studying the physics of cornering, and finding the perfect lines in the twisties. I will truely miss my riding partner.

First of all I am truly so sorry for your loss.



Secondly, I'm glad you appreciated my original post. I removed many details out of respect for both families involved, but I can't tell you how glad I am that it was well received in your case. I can't imagine what it's like on your end of the situation and I commend you for speaking with such compassion and tact during an impossible and potentially volatile emotional situation. I know I am just some stranger, but please, please, sincerely, PM me if there is anything in the world I can do to help you or anyone else involved and I do mean anything. I live close enough by and there is no time of the day I am not available to perform any service I can to be useful in this time of mourning. If anyone needs meals brought to them or there is just some way to lighten the load, don't hesitate to let me know.

I was in a bad car wreck 3 years ago and It was indescribably helpful for a few people we barely knew to bring by cooked meals a few days a week so that it was one less concern. If this, or any other thing in the world would help in the slightest for the family or for your family, please believe it would be no inconvenience. That being said, I just hope that everyone involved can come back from such a devastating tragedy.
