At times I feel like he rides pillion with me and as he was a roadracer and fine roadrider, he's directing me onto good lines through corners.

Alright I'm starting to sound creepy now !!!

Not at all creepy. All depends in what you believe in.

Sorry to hear your father was prematurely taken, however it is great to hear you have fond memories. Some aren't so lucky.

Thanks for sharing your memories and thoughts.
Todays ride over to Masterton for the Airshow will be in his honour. Will have the pillion pegs down.

Ride one, ride on.....

I agree, he sounds like he was a great guy! Anyone who raced a Kawi triple, (and the 500 was my favourite, real style!), had big brave ones!

My Dad died 1 Jan, '89 and I still miss him. I wish he was here to see his Great Grandson growing up and all the stuff that's happened to us all. My Mum turns 75 in Feb and I cherish her!

My Father-in-Law and my wife were very close and he passed away May '99.

It does us good to remember and take stock of how we value our loved ones. Too easy to get caught up in "life" and miss opportunities until it's too late.

Good post, mate.
