Had to happen eventually

Sat Apr 5, 2008, 10:02 PM
After 12 years together, my best girl Amelia died yesterday morning (5 Apr 08) at 10:45 a.m. central time in my arms. To keep to my promise to her, she's being cremated and the ashes will be used to tattoo her portrait on my left thigh. Keeping her with me always.

She is sadly missed but in a better place.

I love you Amelia and you will never be forgotten.

See you soon baby,

tat2doc

Sure, no problem. Funny you would use the Philadelphia Eagles logo for your avatar. I was born and raised in Phila.

Will check it out. What I looked at yesterday looked good. If you have any questions or need help, just ask. No bull crap answers either.

I love the Harleys in your gallery. I've got a '74 Yamaha (restored 3 times), a '84 Kawi GPz900R, and an 08 Fat Bob that I love. It's like riding a happy rhinoceros around, and it can actually corner well, once I got used to the low center of gravity.

Thanks man but I don't ride anymore and have sold those bikes years ago. But I know enough people that if I feel the need, I can borrow one at any time. And I haven't done any custom paint on one in a while either. All I do now is tattoo and am coming up on 40 years in the biz. But my leathers and airbrush are still ready if I get the urge :)

That's great that you ride. Bet we could share some good stories :)

Ever "hot wax" someone in a carwash....lol

I did on the way back from Phoenix from a National Meeting when I rode with the Vietnam Vets M/C (10 years worth). Trying to save money on the way home, the Pres, Vice Pres, and me (secretary/treas) stopped in a carwash for a quick shower. Well, we got the VP good with the hot wax option....lol...He wasn't happy but we were laughing our butts off....Anything to lighten the mood...

Ride careful man, you know how dumb those cage drivers can be!

Amen. I scared myself once going home from work by paying attention to the cagers at traffic lights facing me and intending to make left turns. Better than 7 in ten were on cellphones at the time. :fear:

I think that riding somehow lets you get into situations that are the stories later. I don't think I've ever met a rider who doesn't have one or fifteen. I remember riding home from some races with a buddy and signaling that I needed gas. He nodded & I got to a pump first. I saw him at the other side of the island while I was filling up. He was going through the wildest body english with his upper body I'd ever seen while being stopped. People were staring at him and I told him to just get on with it. Finally he yelled the F-word and fell over. He'd played hockey since he was little and his knees were screwed. They'd locked up and he couldn't put a foot down & he had nothing left for concentration to ask for help. About the damndest thing I'd ever seen.

Btw, I thanked you for the watch, but the first time I tried I said 'gallery'. Just proves there's no minimum IQ to be me. :shrug:

Sorry about your friend but that was funny. Stories are our way of remembering the good times that non bikers will ever understand. And you had to have been a part of that life style to see the humor I guess.

As an ex truck driver, I've seen my share of the cell phone & left turn idiots too. And there were times when I was scared for myself, and others. It's really getting risky these days.

Ride safe!
