I just got home from an evening out with friends, we celebrated that we got know our friend Andy and the times we shared together.
Calling hours were from 6-8 and the line was out the door and around the lot before 6. There were several pics of him growing up, his bikes and just random pics with friends. We all gave our condolances to his family and then hung out in the parking lot together.
We then hit up the bar/restaurant and had some drinks and dinner in his honor. We all miss him, but enjoyed our evening the best we could, he woulda wanted it that way.
Everyone got home safe and sound, a few needed rides, but we were all willing to help and drive wherever needed.
The funeral is tomorrow, I expect that will be tough for many, but is whats needed. His family requested no bikes be brought, not what I would want, but we will all respect the choice.
We are planning a memorial ride for his honor in july and are currently gathering items tp be auctioned off to cover expenses. If anyone has any unique idea's in this respect, im all ears. We are hitting up the local bike shops and folks are donating gear and parts the have to help out. Everyone is really coming together on this, which is great. We've got a banner made, a fairing signed and Im gettin a pic to have Cap laser up something.
Off to bed for me, gonna be a long day tomorrow. Thanks for all you support guys, its nice to have the Org to vent to
