The pleasure of riding. Kicking about on the freeway or dipping through the twisties. It's all good, until it's bad, in the ultimate instance...
... That occurred at 3:15 yesterday, we lost the Good Friar. John Bedard. Oh how the heart aches. Tonight I'll offer a toast of Crown Royal: John's Crown Royal he left with me just 16 short days ago. FRIAR!
No matter how loud I scream I'll never see John again. To John's family, to his girlfriend JoAnn, to all that loved him, my deepest sympathies.

Ive been sitting here for over an hour in a state of shock. One of Johns friends in Montana contacted me via FB about the time Jim PMd me.
If it were not for John I would not have known of BA.com. I feel a lot of things right now but the loss of a friend is cutting deep.

I don't believe this. I had lunch with him 2 hours before. I am shocked and mortified. This better not be a joke. He was on his way to stay with his dad for a few days. I'm so bummed.
