Jon and everyone else out there in MotoLand..sorry if there's been confusion.....

Ming's tonight....Wednesday 2/25

Still on..............

Not sure at this point if Cathy will attend due to the obvious .....

Thursday night (see SpeedTrpl's post below) is a separate event and everyone is invited........

Cathy is throwing a PARTY for Rich this Thursday from 5pm-9pm at One World Theater.

EVERYONE is invited and she really wants it to be a CELEBRATION so there's going to be plenty of food and drink.

Cathy might not be able to make it to Mings tomorrow so she asked I let everyone know today.
If anything changes I'll re-post ASAP

Sadness, deep incredible sadness...........

I just talked to M1 Tanker/Speedtrpl who posted a bad bad email...I called Cath (S/O) and he's gone from us.....

Here's what is known right now....

Out riding alone on 337, he was found lying in the middle of the road with his bike late yesterday afternoon, apparently on his way home, from a usual (for him) Sunday ride..... The pickup truck driver that found him could find no deer or animal collision evidence. Life Flighted to San Antonio Hospital where he expired in transit......His helmet was apparently unmarred, was wearing full gear as he always did, but Cath states he most likely died due to internal injuries/bleeding.

God Speed Rich......you went out doing exactly what you loved to do.......riding your Ducati on your favorite stretch of tarmac.....

And knowing Rich, he's on that Italian road right now on his dream 1098s, spliffed out in full Dainese (of course) and laughing at all of us now that he's found perfect traction, suspension compliance and throttle control...

Cath will be @ Mings Wed night to help celebrate his life......please make time to stop by.........watch this space for any updated information

Very strange!
All I can think of, is that he tried to avoid something like an animal or possibly an oncoming driver in his lane, and he wrecked while trying to avoid a collision.

Very sad day indeed.

RIP Rich

damn guys, I am really upset about this. Rich was such a cool guy. I had alot of fun riding with him and chatting with him. Alot of good memories. I'll dig through my photos when I get home tonight- but if anyone has more to post up- please do so.

I'll raise a glass for him tonight. At least he went out doing what he loved.

Damn, what a tragedy. His family will surely be in all our hearts.

+1 on what David said to please let us know if there is anything we can do from the Houston area and please keep us updated on services so we can at least send our condolences if not be there in person.

There's nothing I can say about Rich that hasn't already been said. Great guy, cool guy, loved riding,....
Only thing I can add is:
+11ty billion Cry

I am saddened to hear about his passing.

Ride with the angels Rich. When I'm on 2 wheels I'll be thinking of you.
