Yeah, just read it over on the FB group. So long RK. You were a hoot.
Hope his dogs are ok...

[sgtcall]

He always loved his dogs, I hope they find good homes.

[DevilsFan]

That crazy mfkr....tried to get along with him and have rational conversations to no avail. No doubt he had some issues.

That said, I hope he rests in peace. I know how much he loved his pups and I pray they're all going to be taken care of.

Too bad he never got to ride the new bike.

OMG!

Not Tom!

What happened to him that he passed so suddenly?

DANGITALL!~!!!

[hillsy v2]

He did mention he had some health issues he had to get over before they would do a hip replacement on him - maybe it was more serious than he was willing to let on.

I fully understand your feelings here.

As do you,...I too, volunteer at an Animal Rescue Shelter. Have for over 14 years now. And I'll wager you have seen your "fair share" of the suffering(s) that happen to the WONDERFUL animals that are treated as if they are mere..."throw-aways".

The Loving Hugs in the picture you highlight are what I experience at least a dozen times,..everytime I get out of my Van and enter The Shelter.

Unlike others there,.... I get down on my hands-and-knees so as to be on their "level".......Face-to-face,.....and they LOVE to wrassle with me,...they even gang up and knock me over as we play in the grass together.

Honestly,...there is NOTHING.....that is ever so fulfilling than to see these neglected,.....even abused,...animals....SO HAPPY.




If anyone wants to know if they can make a difference with their life?........do what MadCow does.

You WILL BE richly rewarded.........trust me.

RIP RoadKing You have made a difference with your love of your doggies and your pure love of Motorcycles.

Eternal rest grant them oh Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him!

yeah same here

Knowing him only from cyber space but we were a couple of old biker farts enjoying life and facing the problems that come with age. I'm sure many people will be missing him and it's always sad to hear of a loss in the great biker community.
