Been beatin' Frank for a couple days, first time here since Friday, and then this. I am utterly without words. Or pics. Only loss. Great, deep, loss.
I can't believe this.....first Andrew, now TWN!!!!!
When I joined the Forum, these two were the first to welcome me. Both gone...maybe its time for me to sell the FJR...??
RIP TWN and tell AK we still miss him.
UPDATE 8/23: The Memorial service for Tim is going to be Saturday September 27th, as of yet no time or place has been set. Also sometime around then patty requested that i/we take him on his final ride thru some of his favorite canyons. We are not sure if this will happen the same day or the next day but it Will happen.

I'm having a hard time typing this.....but it's got to be said. We lost Tim "twowheelnut" Bates. He passed away at home Friday evening.
I've just spoken with his wife, Patty, and she said he seemed peaceful and didn't suffer...he just died. He was online several hours before his passing, so I'd like to think he was thinking about us.
I extended to Patty the forum's condolences and to call if there is ANYTHING we can do.
She knew how much we all meant to him and knows how much he meant to us...and will share details about a memorial in the days to come.
And I know we all will miss him. My heart weeps....
But, I'm sure as a fellow forum member observed.....he and Andrew are riding together right now....probably in 5th gear.

P.S. We've been through tragedy before on this forum and did very well at grieving respectfully...and I'm thankful we'll be just as graceful this time.
