I lost a friend.

Well I returned home from a 3 day trip to find out I lost a friend on Saturday night. My friend Dennis LeBlanc was killed on his Harley buy a cager making a left hand turn. He was 47 years old and was a single father to his 10 year old daughter. It is so hard to grasp the fact that he is gone, I was with him on Friday night, the day before my trip.

I guess the point to my sad post is please ride safe. Your family and friends day can change in a blink of an eye. His funeral is next Monday and other friends and I are going to have a memorial ride in his hounor.

"R.I.P. Dennis, you will be missed."

Sorry to hear that bad news. I hope his daughter has a shoulder to lean on she will need it. So bad when this happens to someone you know. Be safe and know, your friend will always be remembered by his friends. For what it is worth, prayers to you and all...

Sorry to hear about your friend. Prayers sent for his daughter and family. A tragic thing to go through. My wife and I have gone through this more times than we want since last November. Almost sold the bikes a couple of times since.

Aww, man Chad - that just makes my heart hurt. Every time I hear something like this from one of my fellow VTF members, I wonder sometimes why I continue to ride...

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Dennis's family...
