Condolences, His presence, commentry and wit will be missed here.,.

My thoughts exactly, I had conversed with him about making the Bacon Run an Annual event and am planning on trying to make that happen. I had also just corresponded with him about putting HID lights on his bike since he loved mine so much when we rode in the dark back to the hotel at the Bacon Run this year. I told Rodney that if he gets the info to me that I might be able to make it for the funeral since Monday is one of my days off. All I need is an address and a mission and I can be there.

For those that are able to attend, the funeral will be at 11am at:

Rockdale Baptist Church
1295 Smyrna Road
Conyers, GA 30094

As per Laura Skelton's request I have 5 riders confirmed so far to lead the funeral procession. I am hoping that more will be able to show.

PM me if you have any questions.

That is so sad to hear about Mike. Wow, you just never know the time. Sure enjoyed X1Rider's posts and picking up on valuable things he had to say. Regret never having the opportunity to meet up with him. My sympathy to all of you who knew him. Mike, you will certainly be missed.

Wow, such sad news. Our condolences go out to his family and friends. With I believe 2,276 posts here, you sure will be missed. Thank you for your contribution and priceless info you helped us with.

GREAT idea, Kevin. Let's make it happen.

My condolences to his wife and family.

RIP X1rider.

If I had the means of getting there, I'd be there! Since I don't/can't, know that I'll be there riding in spirit. RIP X1rider! My condolences to his friends and family!

My condolences to his family and friends. I never met him in person but feel that I got to know him here.

Heading out to the viewing...

*relocated from separate thread*

Mike S from Conyers has moved on to bigger better roads in a better place. He will be sorely missed.

I am saddened to hear this very sad news indeed. God speed brother.
