Never Forgotten
I can't think of any words that have not already been expressed Just know that I'm sorry and hope you can work everything out in a way that will be best for you.
man, sorry to hear about your friend. thoughts and prayers go out What would your friend want you to do?
sorry to hear of your loss....
Nothing i can say will help you feel better. Time will heal your pain. It sucks to lose a friend. I will pray for Scott.
Don't do anything right now concerning your bike. More than likely, if you like me, you'll regret your actions taken when greiving.
If you need a friend to call, i'm around. 540-223-3785 Paul.
Take care.

MY PRAYERS SENT TO SCOTT AND ALL IN HIS FAMILY, BRO STAY STRONG IT WILL EVENTUALLY GET BETTER, IN THE MEAN TIME STEP BACK AND RE EVALUATE BUT DON"T FORGET ABOUT ALL THE PLEASURES YOU HAVE WHEN YOU RIDE. WE ARE ALL HERE FOR YOU. R.I.P. SCOTT
RIP Scott Taylor, prayers sent for you and the family.
These are my exact same sentiments. I mean, you could die crossing the street or a million other ways. I just refuse to believe that we can escape our pre-destined time. We could be called "HOME" at any given time, and that's why time is so precious. And we also don't get to pick and choose how we die unless we commit suicide. Anyway, my prayers go out to him and his family.
Terrible news ...
... thoughts and prayers are with you and everyone who cared for him.

A sign of a good person is the amount of people that miss them when they leave this world. I get the impression that your friend has impacted quite a few lives and will be missed greatly. His job here was done and has been called home. I'm sorry that your friend is gone but please realize it is only temporary.
Speaking from a Christian frame of mind, Nobody celebrates the loss of a friend or loved one, but we should. Their trials are over and are receiving their eternal reward free from the angst of this world and are basking in the glory of our Creator. We mourn for OUR benefit, not theirs. While I miss the companionship of those that have gone on before me, I look forward to the reunion even more. I hope you can rest knowing that you and your friend will be re-united in a better place at a wonderful time. May God help you with your grief.

John, I am terribly sorry to hear such news. I'd like to say something though because I too have personal experience with what you're going through. I've been flying airplanes for 30+ years, it is my chosen career. Over those years I too have lost more friends than I care to count. As a result I've seriously thought several times about quitting... getting out altogether. To many faces that I see at night that are no longer there. I came the closest to getting out of aviation when (during the controller strike some years ago) ATC put my jet, and a 727 in the same spot, at the same time, going opposite directions... it was soooo close. Made USA today and "made" me think.
The bottom line is that no matter what we do, there's always a chance to buy the farm. All we can do is minimize the risks for ourselves and others and go on with life. Sure, I could quit flying and probably get killed by a bus and so could you. It's not always what "we" do in life that gets us, and we have no way of controlling it. To quit riding, to quit flying, to quit riding my horses, to quit doing that which makes us.. "us" is to die inside... very early.
I don't want to turn into someone else by not being me, by not doing my thing.... and you don't either. Just take a break and think about it, learn something from it, acknowledge it, and let it go. It's the only way.
So sorry to hear your news. Bob

John, I am so sorry for your loss. There is nothing worse than losing someone you love. Before you give up riding and sell your bike, I urge you to please just take a break. Think about the enjoyment you get from riding and then think about the enjoyment Scott got from riding. Think about what Scott would tell you to do. Would he tell you to give up something you love or would he tell you to take as much care as you can to minimize the risk? Don't react to your grief by giving up something. Trust me when I say that I understand how you are feeling. Grieve for Scott, talk about him, and then, when the pain starts to lessen, celebrate his life. You will see him again and he'll want to ride the twisties of heaven with you. You'll need your bike.
RIP Scott. May God welcome you with open arms and make sure to look up my dad.
