Just wanted to say i lost my father Saturday night he is the one that got me into motorcycles at an early age. He would ride me on the tank and have me hold on to the bars so i would not fall of the back when i was only 5. Our last ride was 2 years ago when i had him on back of my GL1800 AT AGE 90!
TON-UP DAD :'(
 
i'm so sorry for your loss :( it's awesome that he introduced you to motorcycles, and you continued to share that passion. now he'll be there with you every time you ride.
 
Sorry man, I know how hard it is to loose loved ones. It sounds like he meant a lot to you, hold on to those memories, keep your chin up. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
 
I'm sorry for your loss.
My Dad got me into motorcycles also. I have very fond memories of him taking me for rides, teaching me to ride, and wrenching on them. He passed away from cancer a little over 6 years ago at the age of 63.
There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of him.

The pain will eventually be replaced with fond memories. And the memories will bring a smile and a tear, instead of sorrow.

You and yours are in my prayers.
 
Sorry to hear, man, that can't be easy. Make sure you keep the memories alive and keep on enjoying yourself. Go for a spin, get into a project - whatever you do to keep yourself happy. The most important thing is that you don't get stuck on a downer.

Condolances - boingk
 
Well, there's nothing that could commemorate him more than continuing his legacy. My prayers and condolences brother. I can't imagine how hard that must be. My heart goes out to you man.

Stay strong. I'm sure he wouldn't have had it any other way.
 
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Take a ride that will help to ease the pain. I could imagine what you are going through. Keep your head up it will all get better.
 
Thank you all for the kind words
I will be riding to the funeral and my friends said they would be riding with me because that is what we do.
 
Sorry to hear the news and I hope you remember the good times, sounds like you do. Take a long ride and after his services, ride and ride. Soon you will find a moment when the sun is on your shoulder and the machine begins to absorb your feelings of sorrow like they are just another bump in the road, and then you feel why your father is still with you. From that moment on, you will know he is with you, because every time you ride, and that sun hits your shoulder and the machine and you become harmonious, you will feel what he has left you and that moment will always remind you.

May he ride forever!
 
Dan,
My condolences to you and your family as you go through this. As long as you have thoughts of your dad he will continue to ride with you. God bless.

Sorry to hear the news man, this certainly cannot be an easy time in life, and the right words are hard to find, but keep your chin up, head on straight, focused on the good things ahead and the beautiful memories left behind, and may they fuel your everyday, to live just as he'd want you to, ride on, ride hard, ride with the love he had for you and for the ride. And then before you know things will be better.
 
Condolences man. Sounds like he had some good innings though if he was on your bike at age 90, we should all be so lucky.
 
ill say a prayer for you man. keep riding; as others said, no better way to remember him then through what he enjoyed doing himself
