Kyle, You were too young to go,me,and everyone else in the family misses you terribly.But we will stay strong. Love you.

what a bad trip. i miss you kyle.

This is why I am selling my bike. It is so much fun but not worth it. It is not a matter of if you get in a wreck, it's a matter of when. Also, anybody past 65 should have to go reapply for their license. Get visual checks and everything else.
