I am really pleased to be a part of this list where the overwhelming attitude is one of support and encouragement for each other, and I think Leslie's suggestion is absolutely right on target. I lost my dad this past April, and I miss him every day. He was a WWII veteran with 24 bombing missions aboard a B17 Flying Fortress to his credit. Toward the end he was wheelchair bound - a man who had hunted, fished, flown airplanes, ridden horses, roped cattle, and played golf almost all his life - and my last visit with him was spent with him smoking cigars and petting a stray cat on the front porch of the verterans home where he spent his last days. It was what he enjoyed, and I wouldn't trade my memory of that day for anything. So buy the bike, let your Dad's wishes guide you, and spend as much time with him as you can. Best of luck. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com.
