Condolences to the loss of a riding brother I've never met.

I just saw this, So sorry to hear. Condolences to the family.

I'll check when I get home to see if I have any photos of him from Park City.

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.

God's speed, Richard

Damn it, I cannot stand to read these posts. Very, very unfair to have life taken from somebody who did not deserve it.

I did not know Richard but he was a brother nonetheless. My deepest sympathies to the family.

Yes, this is sad to read, my prayers go out to Richard and his family. I also hope those that where riding in the group can feel better about this soon.

I can not imagine what it would feel like to look in ones rear view mirror and find your buddy was not there, only to return to find it was a tragic event...

condolences to all of you ....

RIP Richard.

+1, Is there a picture that can be shared?

Please if anyone has pictures of Rick with his motorcycle we would love to see them. We have been looking for some and can't seem to find any that he had.

Thank you,

Rebekah and Family

Rebekah, here are some links to photos that were taken during the event in Park City. I hope you can find some pictures within the linked sites.

Duff's pictures

Badcat has broken the link to his albums. You might PM him and ask him.

Curtain Closes You can try clicking on the name "FatNakedGuy" and then "send a private message". He is a professional photographer and took many pictures during the event. He might let you look through his album.

Cdogman's pictures

IronMaiden's pictures

There may be more, but I can't find them.

Also, if you know who he rode to WFO with, they might have some pictures of the trip.

I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I know the ache in your heart.

I did not know Richard but he was a brother nonetheless. My prayers go out to his family and friends. Since I live near by, I'd like to try and make this memory ride for Richard. I really know very few members, being so knew to this forum community, but I feel very close just following threads and discussions. It's in "our" blood to ride and feel free. Richard is now truly "free" and living in a better place.

I am so saddened to hear that another brother has fallen. Life is short and we have to live it to it's fullest every single day, and that is why I ride.
