"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."
I didn't know Jim, but seeing where he went in to rescue his wife tells me all I need to know about him. May he rest in peace with the Lord.

I miss the guy horribly.
I probably shouldn't dredge up the thread to say that, but I'm doing it anyhow.

Thanks Alan. I've been a little melancholy lately. Seems like death has been all around me. First my father in law, then Dirt Dobber, then last weekend my cousin passed away.
I'm getting to the age where I'm going to start losing people, and it's only going to increase. It's made me think a lot.

As you get older , People around us are getting older also.. Thats the grand scheme of things...
One day [ And Its gonna happen to all of us] People will be talking ''About us'' ''Not to us''...
Enjoy life, Its relatively short, Thinking too much about it will put you in a Funk.... Nothing is gonna change the grand scheme....

When I returned to work after my heart attack a co-worker made a comment that hit home. He said it was great to see me back, because its better to be seen than viewed. Amen to that.*

Although I don't fear death anymore, I'm not in a big hurry to die, I think God still has work for me to do here. Having said that, I totally understand, as I get older, I realize that people around me are getting older too and that we all will succumb to death. I would be remiss if I didn't ask us all to think about what's next. No lecture, just a request to think about it.
I know this is a old thread and I have not been on here in a very long time but since I lost my Dad in this fire a lot of information has came to light about what happened. I will not go into details but I wanted you all to know that every time I start thinking about my Daddy I come here and read everyone's comments and it helps me to know that my Daddy did what he loved most and that was helping his fellow riders out. I am in the process of restoring his VTX also known as his Memorial Bike and while I am completely lost as where to start or what to do I am going to try my best to restore it back to the way he had it prior to his death. I have spent the last 3 years trying to track down the painter because there is huge gash in the paint where it looks like someone took a hammer to it (prior to me obtaining it) and I have hit a dead end every time. I will be posting lots of questions as I go through this process and I just ask everyone to be patient with me since I am new to all of this.
Thank You in Advance,
Lil DirtDobber
