R.I.P. #39

I'm so deeply sorry to have lost the opportunity to meet Easy, real high on
my list of "people I must meet one day".

May neighbours respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.

Ride forever free Easy!

I met Easy briefly at Smiley's a few years back,and have enjoyed his
posts here for years.His contributions to this forum were often
unique,and reflected a unique viewpoint from a guy who did not seem to
care if he was in agreement or not;he would simply say his piece. My
condolences to his family.RIP Easy,I'll miss you.

I, Like so many others, was stunned when I read this. Though I only had
a few opportunities to party with Easy, they were all memorable
occasions. He will be remembered for his old-school wisdom, his gift for
telling tales that made every one listen and his love of Redheaded
waitresses. As others have already said, #39 will be missed by the many
people who's lives he touched.

Never had the pleasure of meeting Easy in person.
I believe that was my misfortune....

I am sorry to hear this. It truly sucks.
I got to party and hang with him a few times, and it was
always a pleasure. One of a kind he was.

To Easy.. <klink>

An ocean away, was sitting working here and couldn't stop thinking about
the big guy and went back in time. Found this one which is so Easy,
written in that special style of his and posted here in the r.m.h as the
year 1999 rolled in.

God speed

.......

i added it up a while back. 12000 on the two sprints, 41000 on the first
sportster, 9500 on the second, 55000 on the fxrs, and 72000 on the
dresser. all mileage numbers are approximate of course. 34 years in the
saddle, not one year, 34 times. what a long strange trip it's been.
don't really have any bad memories, just a few people and places i could
do without seeing again, and a whole lot i look forward to seeing again.
all those wonderful mind pictures: sundown in the badlands, sunrise in
the hills, the beauty of yellowstone, the grand canyon, the change of
colors in the painted desert, mesa verde, yosemite, the high desert of
nevada, the expanse of the great plains, high in the smokies with just
the mountain tops peeking out of the clouds, the california coastline,
new mexico, arizona, colorado, utah, wyoming, montana, idaho, the
dakotas, nebraska, kansas, oklahoma, texas, arkansas, iowa, missouri,
minnesota, the lakes states, the midwest, kentucky, tennessee, the
virginias, the carolinas, georgia, alabama, mississippi, louisianna,
florida, and the rust belt. maryland, deleware, pennsylvania. canada,
and old mexico.still gotta get to the PNW and NE. some day, some day.
and the people, lots of smiles, plenty of friendly talk: where you from,
where you going? nice day. nice looking bike. i/my
gramp/dad/brother/uncle had one. old men sharing memories, young kids
with the shy smiles, the long looks, and the quick grin when you wave.
the pretty girls, and the interesting women. the friends you make and
never see again, and the ones you see every year or so, out there. the
little roadside places with the best cheeseburgers and coldest beer in
the world. camping on the yellowstone/arkansaw/animas river, cooking
over an open fire, listening to the water as it runs by. a billion stars
at night. burning up in the heat, drowning in the rain, freezing in the
cold, and loving every minute of it. sometimes you've got somebody to
share it with, sometimes it's just you and the sound of the engine, and
either way it's just fine. i've had the opportunity and privilege to see
this great country without it being framed by a windshield, meet the
finest of people and share the finest of times because i ride a
motorcycle. it's cost me a fair amount, but it would be cheap at twice
the price. biker? i don't know, and i don't care, but i am a rider, and
i am proud of that.

the big easy. waxing philosophic as the calendar makes another turn.
