Had a hard time with spreading the ashes, had to collect myself a few times, but it truely was an inspiration doing as he wished.

Home safe, and Washing the bike after I mow the freekin lawn.

Thanks Guys for the Kind words, and wishes. Oh, and the Ultra was AWSOME, and averaged 45-47mpg...

Sometimes I go fishing down there. I'll think of your dad, tip my hat, and tell him what a great man he raised. Good on ya.

Thanks guys. I have so much pride for my Dad, and how he has raised me, and tought me everything I know from Welding, Fabricating, building cars, engines, trannies, rearends, building bikes, to being a loving husband, and father. He is a true inspiration to myself, and everyone who ever met him. He would drop anything to help ANYONE out in a bind, and I try to do the same.

I love and miss him so much, and I have a few of his ashes with me on both scoots, and I plan on a nice little "straight up and sideways" tatoo somewhere on my arm cause that was his saying, and I kinda live by that when Im playing.

Thanks again

Kasey
