3 years ago today. R.I.P.
-
Great pic. :)
-
Thanks BRW-
He was gone before I arrived here, but his spirit must, to an extent, live on here in his many forum posts. Go and read through the Ride Reports archives, people, and you'll see. The banter between Uncle Ernie and BRW in those threads borders on comic genius!
-
BRW: Thanks for the reminder about Uncle Ernie....He was a avid rider of motorcycles and a active part of this community ..Glad to see a small part of his life burned into our board memory...GM
-
There's that pic! Thanks BRW, I have been looking for that pic for my slideshow. I had no idea he was still fairly young . Anyone ever find out what brought him down? F'n shame really.
-
cyrusb: I thought he had a fall off his bike and expired in the hospital if memory serves me right..Someone who knows might chime in..It was a sad day and we had lost 2 other brothers the year before...GM
-
GM, You are correct. Now i remember, some kind of complications from the wreck. He was only 3 years older than I. Scary, as we age, we become about as durable as a teacup.
-
Yesterday was four years. Keeping the memory alive...
-
BRW: That was good of ya to remind us...
-
Recently I've been nosing around some other forums about other bikes - I keep running into old posts of Uncle Ernie's! That guy was everywhere, and I'm being haunted by him - in the best way, of course!
-
Knew him through posts and PM's, he was a hoot.
The banter back and forth between him and BRW was a source of many smiles. Still is. Search up some of their threads and posts. :)

Ice - I couldn't agree more! If anyone needs proof, check out my post, reply #2 above... ;D

All 167 pages worth. :)
Unfortunately, it starts off with Ernie's last post and I suggest you skip reading it and go on to his earlier posts to find out what a great guy he was.

Start at the back and go forward ;) :)

Probably a coincidence but still made me smile.

6 years ago today, Uncle Ernie left us.

Another bump as a reminder.
I recently acquired an old Honda 4, so I found my way onto a new "specialty forum." Mucking around through the archives, I bumped square into... you guessed it, Uncle Ernie. I keep following him around, years too late... :'(
