Sorry to hear about your friend Ricky L.. My prayers go out to his family and his friends.

Friday I lost a good friend in KC named Ricky J.. Ricky J. and I partied together for many years. We worked together and shared a house for a year in the 70's. Ricky J. was 60 years old and never quit drinking whiskey or smoking tobacco. We talked over the past couple of years about being sober. He wanted what being sober offered, but did not want to give up the effect produced by it. Six months ago he told me he had lung cancer. It was quick. Ricky J. rode a fairly new Truimph 900 Trident. I will miss my friend as you will too hammer.
