I hope you find peace in your fond memories. I'm sure it's going to hurt for a while.

Gone from Your sight, your Dad may be
But in Your heart, He still rides free Comes a time when we all must say bye, Til we "Ride that Road" when we again can say Hi God Bless You in this trying time.

ref dad
Thanks everyone for your words
It means a lot to me ,just glad I took him to Mount Rushmore and the Rockies a couple of years ago. At least he went fast not much pain as his life was getting unbearable in the final days thank all ps He owned a Vincent Rapede with a sidecar when he was about 30 years old but he sold it to buy a car for his 2 boys, The man who wanted the bike only wanted the bike not the sidecar but he did buy it in the end How much would it be worth todays money ? He said he always regretted it

Your dad looks happy on that rock, nice of you to take him out west.
May you find peace in his enjoyment of life and family. P.S. I've a pic on my wall of three friends and I clinging to that same rock.

Lloyd, my condolences to you and your family.
What would your dad's bike have been worth if he kept it? It's just metal and from what you've said, it would be anywhere close to as much as his kids were worth to him. Fix up that XJ of yours, then go ride it and have a pint when you get home! .
