Did not even see a comment section on the article link. Good call! waytogo Hopefully your efforts or Nate's will get us some info and guidance as to what to do.

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

Not for nuthin'...

We're here for a good time...

not necessarily a long time.

Dolph lived that way.

While I'm sad that he's gone, I can't bring myself to feel bad for him going out doing something he loved so much.

This is terrible news. RIP Dolph.

Whatever is decided donation-wise, I'm in.

"At least he died doing what he love doing the most," David Virden said. "Not everyone does that."

I rest your case.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

It's kind of freaking morbid and maybe not even the right time and place but I am sure many of you will agree and know where I am coming from. Hopefully. And I am sorry if I offend. But like  previous posts said, he died doing what he loved the most. His brother obviously felt the same way. I told my bike hating wife what happened and she lit off on how many friends and folks I know have to die or get hurt for me to stop riding? Is it just me or does that have nothing to do with her? I love my wife but that's pretty self centered. If I loved to trout fish (and I do) and fell into the river I was fishing on and drowned does that mean everyone should stop trout fishing? Not in my world. Dolph would never ever want us to stop riding because of what happened to him. Nor more than I would. Life goes on. Ride like you are riding for Dolph. If I die ride like you are riding for me. I'll do the same for you! waytogo [moto]

Damn. That sucks. Dolph and I sure had our share of disagreements on this board, but I'm pretty sure everyone (myself included) respected his exuberance for life and for riding. Definitely a big loss to our little community.

RIP Dolph.

My dad sent me this quote a few years ago:

"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in
a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,
totally worn out shouting, '...holy sh$t...what a ride!"

I raise a glass to Dolph. You died as you lived, which is something not many achieve.
