This is Jack Bailey's Step-Daughter Candi. Mom and I wanted to thank all of you that were able to attend the service. We knew he had a lot of friends but now we know why. You all have been a very big help when all of you have been hurting yourselves. This has been a difficult time for my family and with all of the help from Jack's friends and the TRR Team it has made it a bit easier to deal with, seeing all of the love and good wills that were sent our way. As you can see, I am now a member of the TRR fam so I can keep up with all of the rides and celebrations and let mom know and hopefully will be able to attend a few. Again, thank you all for all of the prayers and love you have given us.

Thanks, Candi. The whole Bailey family will be forever a part of us. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to keep you guys involved in the motorcycle community that Jack loved so much.

I for one would like to volunteer to finish Jack's trophy room by hanging the rest of his hundreds of plaques and trophies still in boxes and stacked on the floor.

Glad to see you here Candi, you did a amazing job honoring a great man.


I had the greatest honor, when you (Candi) told me that the ONE floral arrangement you wanted to take back to the house was TRR one. I thought about it for about 1 hour before going to the OB florists, there I spent about another hour. I wanted it to be perfect, the TRR family trusted me to represent us and I did not want to disappoint. Afterwards I had to think of what to say on the card and that too took a bit.

Thank you all for the kind words. Tom, I am not sure when or if we are going to hang all of the plaques on the wall or leave them just as he had them stacked. I am not sure if we even have enough wall to hang them all! lol I will pass that along to mom and let you know what her plans are. Patrick, you did do a GREAT job with the flower arrangements. The KTM arrangement has already been placed in the trophy room right in front of the window and it looks GREAT!!!! I am happy to be on here as well. I am a horseback rider by birth but a pretty dang good 4-wheeler as well!! If there are ever any rides where 4-wheelers (or horses ) are welcome I would be happy to try to attend. I have heard of a few memorial trail rides that some people were thinking of putting on and would definately like to attend those so please keep me posted! Again, thank you all for everything!!! I will forever live my life in the memory of his.

One more thing...I would also like to share a quote of mine that I think would sum it all up. It is as follows:

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a beautiful, well preserved body.
But rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOOHOO What a ride!!!"

If anything embodies his life I think this would be it. It is also how he would want others to live there's so get out there and ride it like you stole it!!!

Anytime! Say, if you ever want dirt bike lessons let me know. I've got a couple of female beginners under my wing right now!

Yep, Jack lived more in his 44 years than most people do in 88.
