All of my Gap trips involve someone, including myself, coming home with a mangled bike. We joke and give each other shit but everyone comes home, somtimes with a lot more bruises. I am sorry to hear this, it sounds like he was a good guy and the nurses at the hospital in Alcoa are pretty hot. With his attitude her surely would have bagged at least one nurse. I am sure the nurses in heaven are hotter and the motorcycles are faster heck the beer is probably colder too.
