R1 Steve died ths morning

[thrasherfox]

I dunno if I can take it... But Revlis can take it... Does that make sense??? Or does that just sound bizzarre?

Bizzarre thing is... yeah, it does make sense! As some people know, I'm SAD.. that is I have Social Anxiety Disorder~ I don't like crowds and don't trust much of anybody as far as I can throw 'em~ I'm typically quiet and very aware of my surroundings and the people in said vacinity~ BUT, the weird thing is, with my job I deal with people all the time~ Once I'm in 'uniform' the SAD seems to go away~ I guess because I know I have a job to do and I'm representing the Company rather then myself...?
My point being.. Yeah, I can see how Revlis and the man that portrays Revlis can see things differently~ Look forward to seein ya in tomorrow...

GJoker -

I am like you.. never really thought much of it. I was an only child.. just figured that was the way I was.

a friend had me convinced I needed medications because I could never "relax" in a crowd, he said I was always "on edge"

Per his advice I went to a doctor, she prescribed me some crap and she told me not to take myself off of it..

A week later I took myself off of it and said fugged it, I hated the way I felt on it.

I am who I am. I actually like being quite and aware of my surroundings.. and so what if I am paranoid. it has served me well so far muah ha ha....

I wish I was closer people. I would go.. but being on the coast of California is a long way from Florida.

My thoughts will be with Steve, his family and friends and all of you that attend...

Yeah.. it's hard on the wife sometimes~ She wants to go places that I just can't deal with.. like treking through the flea markets~ I can only handle sooo much and then I break out in a cold sweat and feel the need to toss everyone aside! I don't even much like going to the State Fair anymore~ I even have a hard time just going into a convienence store to grab a pack of smokes~ It sucks sometimes, but I've learned to deal with it and the wifey covers me happily~ I got put on Prozac once.. couldn't like it so I took myself off it~ I can be happy being a reclus(sp?) if need be~ We do have a couple good friends we can socialize with every now and then~ Except two of them are soon leaving for Seatlle!! My biggest problem is prolly being 'put on the spot' or being the center of attention~ I really break out in a sweat then and tend to choke on my words~ There's even been times when I'll just draw a blank in mid sentence and forget what I was talking about~ I think there's a lot of us in the world like this.. we all just find different ways to deal with it~

Back on topic... I'll see you all at Diesel's in the morning.. and the rest at the Marathon~

I am very sorry to hear about Steve. My thoughts out to friends and family.

How strange, it amazes me how those of us that are drawn together on this board are so like each other. I too am not a fan of crowds, I don't even think about going to the mall and I can barely stand Christmastime in part due to the crowds on the road. Unlike you Greg, I work totally alone, I deal with people but work alone.

I just want to thank you guys for making this effort and coming over here. Only a few of you ever met Steve, and it was just for a day. You are a great bunch of people. His parents will surely be touched by your presence.

Oh, and don't worry, the building is big, lots of exits and probably not near a capacity crowd.

As a christian you know that we will get to ride with him someday . Sorry to hear you lost a friend and i'll pray for his family .

 

[adrenalinejnky]

Sounds like he is riding with he Almighty on streets of Gold, riding at what ever speed he chooses without worry. The weather is always perfect. I am sure he is thinking "Dude, wait until you get here, its unbelievable."
Its all good eveything I expected x 100,000" "Ride safe and be carful" Just my thought, Godbless he and his family.

And why are we pulling up dated threads???

That's what I was thinking. This thread is 3.5 years old.

You know,,, to answer collectively;

I almost posted on this thread when I saw it here in recent posts! However, I was spell checking and I saw this comment from you both and it made me think.

If we wanted to FORGET those riders that have been taken away from us AND their friends and families and NEVER pay homage to them,, even in simple form,,, then aren't we just sweeping them and the potentiality of danger that we all face each and every time we ride under the proverbial carpet??

If someone wants to revive a single thread like this and motivates a single rider here that reads it to be that much more diligent in their behavior or awareness,, then I think the passing of this lone rider and his death are more powerful than any of us can imagine!!

So let this thread revival stand for a common awareness in us all. Let's never put down a single word or bump in a thread like this again just because,,, it is simply DATED and OLD!! If this thread serves as a rolling forum to vent and share true feeling on the inevitable passing of past, present or fears of future,,, let it stand!

Let us consider this a gift from Steve. I am pretty sure,,, he would sincerely want it that way!

Thanks for the bump up, Adrenalinejnky!

 

[rockadaous]

sorry to hear it had to end this way. prayers go out to family and friends. stay strong brotha that's what he would have wanted.

 

[Aquaman]

A thread like this should NEVER be forgotten...

 

[Wag]

Nothing wrong with remembering a fallen warrior. What I'm thinking, though, is that remembering the thread is good but has anyone been in contact with his family? Does anyone know how they're doing nowadays?

That's the kind of care we might want to consider. Someone post up if you know.

--Wag--

 

[Powers739]

I wasn't suggestion that we "forget", by no means, I was questioning the intent of adrenalinejnky bringing it forward. Maybe when posting up stating that you realize it's an older theard, etc... and then go about making your statements or what have you...

 

[busabit]

Im so very sorry. Any news on catching these idiots would be greatly appreciated. prayers.

 

[dadofthree]
