I also lost a friend alittle over a year ago. I met him in junior high, and we lost contact over the years. One weekend for whatever reason I ran into him at the bar. I never go to the bar. I was at the bar this particular night, and he was there and we drank and talked most of the night. Two weeks later, he was dead. He wrecked his pickup truck.They unplugged him the day after christmas. I was in ICU with our friends on christmas eve. He built many bobbers, and made real cool stuff out of shit. His imagination ran rampet. He rode to tennesee on a hardtailed yamaha xs650. With the approach of the riding season I have thought alot about him latley, and I am really glad to get to blabber about that for a moment. thank you. RIP Jed
