Your doing a great thing for your Uncle, it may be the last ride for your Uncle's ashes...but he will always be riding with you. Ride safe on your journey... Ü

 

A very nice idea. Good for you. Enjoy your ride... I am sure your uncle would want that.

EDIT: As I write this, I am listening to music. Just as I hit okay to add the post, "Wish you were here" by Pink Floyd came on. Is that erie or what?

 

wouldnt it be too cool if "uncle" ended up with a whole crap load of bikes escortin him??

Spike,
Very sorry to hear about your Uncle. When my Dad passed away in 2000 I put some of his ashes in a small vial and attatched it to my handlebars. Now Dad goes on every ride with me. One glance at the vial and I know he is riding near me.

Thanks to all of you and all that have offered to guide me and take pictures.
Hoping I don't offend any of you here, but I think I'd like this to be a solitary ride, just me and Uncle Ed. This way I can stop when&where I want and take as many pictures on the side of the road without having to wonder if I'm pissing someone off by stopping so much. I just wanted someone to take the last picture of the ride of me letting him go. I have a good friend from the VTXOA that has said he will be in Denver at the same time and he would be honored if he could take the pictures. He's a good friend and I have taken him up on his offer.

So thanks to all that offered the great rides and adventures, I really do appreciate this. [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

 

Thanks, and may your trip be a safe one for you and your Mom.

Well your doing a great thing. Your Uncle will be your guradian angel. Have a great trip. A ole fellow that I used to ride with Norm passed away and I did not get to make his funeral. He was cremeated his son has his ashes now. They had a little get together later on and a ride for him got some pictures of him at Hog Alley but his wife sent me some pictures of him and me on some of the trips we made and she madeup a nice lamentaded card with his picture with a write up about him and sent them to me so I carry that in my tour pak so he his still riding them highways. Son, I and a freind of his are leaving Monday morning for Glacier National Park will probably make it thru 8 states before we get back home son figures about 5000 mile trip so ole Norm is going to be going thru some more states again.

 

no offense and may you and your uncle ride hard and ride long and have a cold brew always waiting at the end!

 

My sincere condolences on the loss of your uncle. It sounds like he will truly be missed. Have a great ride. I couldn't think of a better way of getting sent off.
