Default Remembering the lost!

I think thier should be a forum that is souly for fallen riders! That way they are never forgotten. To many times do we read about a fellow rider that was lost and a week later no one can even remmeber thier names of put a face with the name. This forum should be started asap. What do you think?

Keep riding, keep posting, and keep ripping up the tracks. We'll remember you every time you post up. Fallen rider tribute forum is a great idea. We need a tribute day, too. National SBN minute of silence for the fallen.

I've lost more than a few good friends. I think it would be a great idea to start a "Fallen Riders" section. Maybe have a picture and a small bio for the person. Whenever a buddy goes down we usually start a college fund of some type if they any kids. A few years back a buddy went down and we started an annual 10k run in honor of him(he was a triathlete) , and to raise money for his sons college fund. Just a thought.

I too would like to be remembered by my friends here if something tragic happened to me. I belive this is a good idea. Also another way of doing exactly what snigg was saying...a good way to sober up from doing somthing stupid.

I havent lost anyone close to me **knock on wood!!*** from a bike accident, never want to either. I like the idea of an area for fallen riders.

I haven't lost anyone either, but friends have and I shared with them their lose and took part in rides in their honor. It is very touching to see just how loved a person was and to see all their friends come together.

I try to let my friends know how much I love them all the time just so they know. Some people think I'm crazy, some think I'm flirty, but really, I just want people to know I love and care for them and we always have fun, great times to remember each other by.

OK, guess I'm getting mushy, but I really like the idea.
