Paul, I am sorry for your loss. I remember X6 Hustlers and Idaho too from back in the day, and I can picture the adventures you must have shared. Be thankful for them, and be strong. John

 Distance is no barrier, memories although painful will help you be strong. I hope that you can focus on the time that you spent with each other rather than the absence, as had been said, celebrate what you had.

My thoughts are with you.  There for the grace of god go I.

Kindest regards from over the pond

One more road one more mile that is all I ask
When weather's fortune smiled  you were always up to task
Miles piled on and your battle begun but we faced pain together  for two became one
When the road called out it's siren song  we would take turns at pillion   the Northwest we won!
But now all is changed a new battle rages   to fight off my emptiness as life turns its pages
So I ride and ride on as your examples have shown
   you tucked in behind me      I am never alone

Sorry for you lose Paul, my heart goes out to you.  I lost my wife of 20 years on Mother's Day 2014.   Now I ride alone, just ain't the same.  But then nothing in life is the same anymore.
