    My Dad...

    None of you would have known him (he lived on the other side of the world) but I would like to put in a word for my Dad who died suddenly yesterday...

    He was the first person to ever put me on the back of a bike, and in a part of the world where you can barely ride for 6 months of the year if you're lucky (do they even make snow tires for motorcycles?!), he managed to ignite a passion in me for bikes that would smolder for 3 decades. It is absolutely one of the best gifts he ever gave me.

    Thanks, Dad.

    condolences and sympathies, looks like you've already found something to remember him for

    hope it helps you through the tough times and makes them less painful.
    Do you remember the good old days before the internet?

    when arguments were only entered into by the physically or intellectually able.

    Sorry for your loss mate. My dad died suddenly a couple of years ago, I miss him heaps but I always end up smiling because of all the good memories I have. Sounds like your old man was a great guy too so you'll have loads of happy thoughts to draw upon.
