Dad's gone...

    dtalbott Driving somewhere, hauling something.

    My father passed away this morning in his sleep.

    I don't know how many of you ever met my father, but he heard me speak of many of y'all.

    He started with Triumph in the 1950's, took on Honda in the 1960's, and Yamaha in 1979.

    There is no telling how many riding miles he had on motorcycles. Pretty sure he had all of the 48 states, and parts of Canada.

    He was a good man, friend to all, and I will miss him more than he ever would have dreamed.

    he probably facilitated more two wheeled smiles and miles for others than his own.

    Sorry for your loss Mr. Talbott. Using you as the indicator I'm guessing Dad was a class act.
