Tim would slap me for it not being alcoholic but I'll have an unleaded beer anyway.

To Timothy Jude Bates!

Thanks, Tim, for having shared with all of us your sense of wonder at what the road can bring.

Not that we did not all know it in any event, but it was always enhanced, somehow, by sharing it with you.

 

[Bugnatr]

Mrs. Bug and I are having several toasts to Tim and other friends who have gone on before us.

Good call Carver.

Just got back from a walk with the missus, looked at the time, and went to the downstairs fridge for a cold dark beer. Imbibing as I type.

Cheers Tim!

In the tradition of Tim, I've been at it for a "spell" now.

Especially if .....the vinegar was malt ? (my fav )

Especially if .....they're dipped in the beer (or scotch) ?

Especially if .... <deleted>....(I never knew Tim so I can't be my usual smart-ass self....)

Very thoughtful of you, Don, to start this thread in memory of a dear friend.

Thinking many thoughts of TWN. Never knew him in person, but I always wanted to see what TWN had to say. Thank you DC for reminding us how special Tim was.

Actually MEM, you are on the right track!Hmm... Especially if on the belly of a good looking woman?

Thank you, MEM, Tim *was* a very good peep.

I wish more peeps could have met and known Tim. The nature of the virtual world is temporary. Peeps come and go dependent upon changing interests, values, time, and money. Some, though, touch your heart forever due to their unique perception of life, values, and morals. Trust me, amigo, if you had met Tim, rode with Tim, had freaking FUN with Tim... well, it's just like the peeps you know and ride with, my message is to enjoy each ride, each moment, each wonderful life moment where things are simply, well, good.

 

With this I'm done...

 

Goodnight, Tim

 

:****:

Hugs n' Kisses

First met Tim sitting on the steps of the Hotel in Reno. He commented that my bike looked like shit, then laughed loudly. I commented that we both used the same hair color, then he took his hat off and flew the bird. Had a cold one at dinner and me and the missus toasted his memory. Too soon it was.

 

[Neil San Diego]

I never got to meet TWN. He passed away the day before the Big Bear ride that we would have met. I would have really liked to have had the chance to compare the internet TWN to the real TWN. Either way, here's to ya. Vaya con Dios mi amigo.

Adding a little Blantons to the mix as I type this...

 

[Barabus]

Drank a beer. Tim probably would recommend something stronger but it is a school night. Miss you TWN.

 

[Niehart]

Hudson and I, beer for Dave and Crown & a big fat stinky cigar for me, did the toast at 6 last night.

Last time I spent time with Tim was at Andrew's wake. Who would of thought Tim would have been gone so soon after that ... damn, damn, just damn.

Don, you know that it pains me to say this, you are a good friend.
