+1, that was a sombre ride.
The service was wonderful with both sad and happy moments. I'm glad we were able to give a good turn out. I was told by a couple of his family members that they really appreciated our show of support at this difficult time. I even overheard somebody say it was great to watch his friends ride in "in force". I guess it's just because they are not used to seeing so many bikes together, and they didn't realize we were such a big family, related by 2 wheels rather than DNA. His Mom was moved that people rode in from all over, so kudos for making the trek to those from Fort Collins to the Springs and everywhere in between.
I agree on all counts June.
Dave's mom thanked us for attending. She said in part that Dave "loved that damn bike". She wanted us all to be extra careful and safe while out riding.
to all of you who did this! This is a great thing you guys did for Dave and his Family!
I'll put up the video from the ride over, tonight.

You'll be missed Dave.

It was a nice service and it was cool to learn more about Dave's life outside of the motorcycling world.
RIP Dave you will be missed...
Very tough, sombre day. My hat's off to the people who that made all this happen, especially his family and friends who stood in front of us to speak in rememberance of Dave. I know I got all choked up and couldn't even finish my sentence when I gave the pics of Dave from our last ride on CD to his daughter. I can't even imagine how tough it must have been for Dave's brother, and friends, especially Gary. Great job, I couldn't have done it.
RIP Dave.

Rip Dave, never knew him but since I used to go to that church a few years back and wonder how many times I may have bumped into him and his family.
