R.I.P. Keith
Its 6:01 am, I am drunk as hell, and I haven't been to sleep yet. So please excuse any mistakes..... Early on Saturday June 21,2003.... Keith "CopKeith" Williams was killed!! Yes he was a cop, one of the cops that belong in the "Cool Cop" thread. The details on the accident are still fuzzy, but I will tell you what I know....He was hit from behind on the interstate at a high speed, his car burst into flames, and now he is dead!!! Cause of death undetermined so far, but he was dead on the scene. More than anything, I hate that he was in his car instead of on his bike. Makes you wonder what someone's last thoughts would be....... Its just that.........I don't know.....Well okay here goes...He was married, no kids, but all intentions of having them someday! His reason was not to be tied down, he wanted to ride and live while he was young!! His wife is very busy also trying to get her career going... "WE HAVE TIME"!!!!!!!! Just think how many times you can here yourself say i've got time when you realize......its to late!!!!! Those of you that have kids can probably understand what I am talking about more than others... To have a part of you look back at you, and look up to you like you are god, to have a little miracle that counts on you for everything!!! It is a feeling that cannot be subsituted with anything else in life! He put this on hold to ride, because he had time! And now a part of him doe snot go on, and even worst he never got to feel that love. I guess this comes down to a question. Is it better to feel that love and leave, or do you tell yourself that you will one day and miss it? And Keith I love you!!!!!!!R.I.D.E. RIDE IN DEATH ETERNALLY

man I just read what I wrote last night and it almost sounds like I am asking if riding is worth it. When in fact I was simply saying for those of you out there that are waiting for tomorrow to do things, stop waiting and live it like its your last. Most of this is coming from the fact that I just crashed my bike, caught a tank slapper coming of a wheelie at about 120 mph, I broke my collar bone and have been out of work. The last time I talked to my boss he gave me the whole "your irresponsible, you need to slow down you have a family to take care of, and if you get another bike I will have to let you go speech!!!! And I know with that comes responsibility but whats harder for your other half to deal with? Telling your kid his/her father/mother has gone to heaven or going home to an empty house, alone, listening to yourself say "we have time" over and over again in your head. I mean this is the time she will realize how much she really loves all the little things that used to get on her nerves. And she will never get that gratificaton of their son/daughter doing something that just brings him back to life for a moment, you know the "you look just like your dad when you do that!!!"

That is exactly what I was trying to say HOOKED. I Just wanted to give a good explanation. I just hate to think someones last thoughts in their last seconds would be regrets!!!! And even though I dont know any of you personally, we all share the same passion and desire!! We understand each other and why we do what we do! While outsiders try to bash and tear us away from something that they are to closed minded to open up to! That to me makes us family.......We stick together, we fall together, and WE LEARN TOGETHER....I learned from this and thought that I might be able to pass the lesson on!!!!!!!!! Thanks again everyone!!!!!!
