Don and SPU at WFO 09

Me and Don riding with SPU on Titlow hill road

And finally,

Don and Dolly

This was my first trip after I totaled my '08. Don and Mike were awesome, taking it easy on me as my confidence was not quite back up to par just yet.

At the North Rim.

I was just hoping to get a bunch of people to send a few of their photos over as Brian had requested. I spent about 2 hours last night going through years & years of my own photos with him & sent about 45 pictures to them. I wasn't really planning to copy & paste every photo from this thread also. If you want to share them at his memorial as well as on this thread then feel free to send them but don't shoot the messenger. I'm just trying to help Brian with his request. He doesn't have access to this forum.

 

[SkooterG]

I think the point is that Brian has a day job and has enough on his plate right now than to spend time going through our forum as well as other forums to collect photos of Don.

So why not make things a little easier for him by sending him your photos to the email address as requested so he can easily collect them.

TIA!

Here are some pics featuring Don.

This one was taken when we last met, that is near Venice in the fall of 2014. Don and friends were chatting up the owner of a winery where we'd gone one a quick wine-tasting tour.

The one above was taken in Italy, I believe in 2012, when Don and friends were touring the Alps on an Edelweiss tour. Dave (Orestes) is the other guy in the pic.

Taken at Lake Levico, this picture shows (standing) Dr Bob and Don. Our Italian friend Mek (left) and myself are sitting.

The rest of the photos (below) were all taken in Spain during our Pyrenees Tour of 2008.

Thanks for the great photos of Don, Mr. T Rex.

He looks very happy and content in those photos...a man who knew the value of travel, motorcycles and friends.

 

[Old Michael]

Thanks very much for those, teerex.

Christ, I miss him.

 

[Tyler]

I remember the first time I heard that song (Riverdance)... it touched my heart and soul... more so now... thanks, OM. He will always be with you in your heart.

ANOTHER picture of Don in his undies. Imagine that. I'm just thankful he didn't wear European man-thongs!

That was from SW FOG, I forget which one. Don was rooming with Burk "Badcat" and Pinhead and I paid a little visit to him after a lengthy session at the 106 bar.

The Beemerdon certainly knew how to get the most out of life.
