I did good all service , not upset at all , then when riding down the road to bury our friend , I was crying most of the way to the grave yard . It was just moving , to see all those bikes following Fast Jack " One more time " . It was very strange going to church in FULL riding gear !! , but Jack loved it I am sure ! Thanks RealDeal for telling it how it is .

Well said Gooch. I am so numb that the full reality hasn't sunk in yet that we just buried our friend. The eulogy was indeed very moving and did illicit lots of laughs and smiles. Jack was indeed loved by lots of people as evidenced from the full parking lot at the church. I was trying to keep it together to capture as many images as I could. The service and procession afterwards had Jack smiling down on us.

I was unable to make it, but from the pictures it looked like a very touching experience. Jack will be missed by many.

Thank you again Lin for the MUCH needed laughter!! It was SO GOOD to see mom smile again if only for a moment. I know it was as good for her soul as it was for mine. You did a great job! :)

+1 Great Job Lin. No way I coulda choked back the tears to say the kind things that you said. I was doing OK until you broke out the backpack .. That backpack has seen lots of miles, lots of sceneray, lots of friends, and most of all lots of smiles. It was very fitting that Brian wore it in the prcession and I hope that Lori lets him keep on wearing it.

BTW you left off the end of the itching powder story and I understand why. :D

I agree with Carl that it was SO cool to see all those bikes riding down Goodman road. I got the whole thing on video .. (Sandman PM me you phone # and I will get them loaded to the site asap)
