aye rich, i miss ya alot, and ill catch you on the flip side 

Hard to believe two years have passed. You ride with me every day, Rich. <3

Hi there,
I miss you, too, Rich.
I have been thinking of you the last few days.
Today I went on a ride on a glorious day here and I'm pretty sure you were around. 
I hope Kim is doing well, too, and she is in my thoughts, too.
Ride safe, my GS500 friends.
Yours,
Todd

I'm thinking about you today Rich Christie..as I do most days. I miss our nightly chats and you harassing me to go to Dennys. It hasn't gotten easier or made any more sense, but I hope you know what a large impact you made on so many lives. Miss you everyday.

I  know what  you mean  Lissa   I will be putting flowers  there today  at the road side cross

Gone, but never forgotten. <3

I came back from DC last night so I was tired today.  Plus it was raining, but I felt the need to go for a ride today and think of Rich.  We miss you Buddy.  I know you're looking out for us everyday.    

Haven't been here in a couple of years, but there is one sentiment in this thread that always stays with me that someone expressed, early on, and I've forgotten the exact wording, and don't want to check, since it means so much to me. Someone said that we'll never forget you, and to tighten our helmet straps. It was a throwaway comment, but for some reason it meant a lot to me. Every time I've ridden since then, that message has reminded me to check and tighten my helmet straps. It's a sort of mental comfort that if I tighten up my chinstrap, I won't need it. For the last two years I've avoided needing my helmet, but somehow tightening those straps made me feel better. Best wishes to you Phaedrus, and know that some people, like me, are safer because of your loss.

Indeed pandy ( almsot called you by your real name. ) he rides with me every day whether, im on my bicycle or whether im riding with anyone else. i keep thinking about him. even tho ive never met the guy, gstwins, had introduced us. we met by the forums. id have shitty days, read what he wrote, and id mellow out. after seeing it from his POV. , the day teh lord called him home. i was going to give him hell over somethign. ( a joke or whatnot) when i find out, what happened. like someone took the air out of my lungs. rich my friend, will meet you in person on the flipside, when GOD calls me home. maybe sooner, maybe later. btu either way, will meet. and ill thank you for your infinite wisdom in all thigns earthside. ride safe friend ride safe

Oh my god.  I just met rich last weekend at the NE meet. And talked to him, and shared pics just the other day on IM.  He was a very nice person, and a very helpfull addition to this site. It truly hurts alot to have brought up the forum and see that picture in the corner.  I couldnt believe what i was reading.

RIP rich. It was an awesome ride last weekend, good memories.

Brother it is always Good, if you have to part company permanently ( until you re-unite), that you part with good memories, and fun times. 

Can't believe it's been five years aleady Rich. I though about you all day yesterday. I missed you at my wedding and I missed you today as I was working on my wife's gs. I hope you know I'm thinking about you and missing you.

So hard to believe we're coming up on 6 years. 

yes i know pandy it is hard some days  to think it been that long but he is not forgotten
