Never weaken Macnas! I toast your friend Keiran Smyth and his good friends and family like you. We all die and to die doing what you love to do is a great way to go. I know how bad I feel when I am in your shoes that is for sure. I know that probably don't make you feel any better right now but buck up. If it was you that died and the roles were reversed what would Keiran do? He would stay strong, keep doing the right thing and keep your spirit with him forever. You do that and it will all be ok before you know it.
How old was he? Where do you guys live?
A seperate toast for Megabyte, that parable was great!

He was 32 and lived in Cavan, Ireland. He was raisin his two sons, 10 and 7, on his own. He had his own motorcycle business and had a dealership for Kawasaki, if it wasn't mean and green, he wouldn't sell it or fix it. If the roles were reversed, I'd say he'd might have a beer and a smoke, probably spit on the ground and say 'fuck it'.

definitely sad news. feels like we have lost alot of fellow riders this season, but when i think about it, it feels liek that every season. guess it's jsut cause one is already too many.
this has alrady been alluded to by redelk, but i had a really funny feeling yesterday. was ridin down in the city and rode past a huge graveyard, several blocks long. i'v ridden past it before and always made me feel sad. but this time, it actually picked my spirits up. somehow i thought of it as all those lives, experiences, stories, memories. the laughs, the trials and tribulations, all of it. really became more being thankful for all those lives lived, rather than sad for them being lost. kinda hard to explain properly, but it definitely was a profound and unexpected effect. maybe that thought will help you a bit too.
and megabyte, that's a wonderful fable! so very true, tho a hard lesson to follow.
