Oh man. I thought I was out of tears...

Beautiful.

 

[twowheelnut]

Well done, Scott. That was beautiful.

 

[Bluebullet]

That was good, Thanks. It still hurts but it was really good.

 

[madmike2]

Dang it, Scott! Just when I'm getting a handle on all of this and doing my very best to remain aloof from my reactions and control my emotions.......

D'ya realize how hard planning rides in NorCal this year will be knowing Andrew won't be with us on the roads, chatting on the radio and in our company.

You meet the best people on an FJR!

Andrew proved that over and over. We are the lucky ones who got to hold him close and now remember him with such warmth and depth.

Excellent work Scott.... sniff, sniff

 

[fjrchik]

dang that song always gets me.

i love the shot of him holding up the Yamaha tshirt. He really loved and believed in Yamaha. WFO & NAFO won't be the same.

Nice job Scott

 

[SkooterG]

Well done, Scott. Well done.

 

[ZOOOMM]

Nicely done, Scott.

 

[radman]

I would suggest it not be watched at work. Not everyone understands......

 

[Old Michael]

Beautiful. I know it wasn't easy. Thank you.

 

[turbodave_98]

Thanks Scott, enough said in pics and music.

 

[Cannondale]

I know Im new here and did not have the pleasure to meet Andrew. From his posts alone you can tell he was a great guy. Scott you did a great job on the video. Im noticing in almost every photo the people around him are smiling and having fun. Thanks for doing this. I will have my pegs down and raise a toast..

Best regards

Roy

Thanks for the warning, Rad. I'll grab a box of kleenex before I turn on the computer when I get home.

Thanks for the warning, Rad. I'll grab a box of kleenex before I turn on the computer when I get home.

Make sure the box is full. You'll need every tissue. Boy oh boy this one hurts.

Thanks Scott, nicely done.

The photo with the trees and the blue FJR on the side of the road is my favorite FJR photo. When I saw that photo last year I knew I had to get the bike. Nevertheless, that photo is SPECIAL. It says a ton WITHOUT saying a word.

Here's an idea.... can we incorporate that photo somewhere on the FJR forum front page?

Thanks Scott. This helps us to try and heal. PM. <><

Better yet could we get some t-shirts made up with the picture and donate some proceeds to the family? Assuming

that we could get a decent reproduction of the shot.

Sorry to hear about this, just knew him from the threads I read almost daily on the forum. Awesome part of this group. He will be missed!
