YTRAP: In Memory

[shadrach]

I was reading some old threads and realized that tomorrow is exactly one year since Shannon passed (8/4/2005).

Here's the avatar from last year for anyone that wants to display it:

[YZFRob]

Going riding tomorrow. Also theres a ride in Madison for Dave Shugrue (CCS AM #723) who died 3 days before Shannon in a street crash. :(

[HDTony]

His number is still on my Harley, and rides with me all the time.

[cam_neely_8]

I didnt know him but I remember when this happened. Sets many many things in perspective. I hope his family is doing ok, through what will be a very tough time.

[Thunderstruck]

^-- +1...anyone talked to his wife and see how she is doing?...never meet her, but hopefully things are going well for her...

Shannon,

I hope that where ever you are, you are reading this, and remember how much of an impact you had on everybody's life.

R.I.P.

His "In memory" decal is still on my bike. I'll have it there as long as I have the 10R.

[Kruz]

:( Very sad still...

[Grasshopper]

I have his little green #'s on both my race bike and street bike. When ever I'm riding he's with me. Just like my old man, I miss both of those guys. Good people for sure! That dude was more of a biker than many people will ever be and more straight up than many will ever be. He liked to help people, and sacraficed his time to do so because he loved doing it. Threads like these spark memories, and thats a good thing.

I'll never forget that CLSB track day night before when we were up late as hell boozing it trying to get that heap of shit EX500 running and I must have smashed his fingers in the butterfly for the carbs like 3 times. :laughing

The Yellow armband in my Avitar pic was from the memorial
day we did for Shannon at BHF after he passed away.


It's still too sad to think about.

:( Busa girl, that photo gave me mad goosebumps.

[ssiperko]

I just got back from a memorial service with the family at the Lincoln Cemetary in Elwood.

Helps put a lil' closure on it.

Got to ride 200+ miles with Shannon looking over my shoulder today.

Even rode a nice wheelie outta the part in his honor.

Still a hard pill to swallow.
We miss you very much Shannon.
Rest in peace

[Lupi]

I've had this as my avatar since things happened last year. I doubt I'll ever change it as long as I'm a CLSB member.

Great guy who's in my thoughts!

Ciao,
Lupi

[Ohfugit]

Pictures like this have got to tug at your heart strings

RIP Shannon

[Nick 600 F3]

Exactly a year ago...... Its so hard to belive that it was all real. Today my thoughts and prayers are with his family, his wife, the girls. I pray they are strong, and that things have been going well.

[ronhix]

+1, we all miss you buddy. You taught me a lot.

[Kruz]

I still carry his memorial card from the funeral home in my truck...he actually passed away a few days later after a couple surgeries.

[Grasshopper]

We will never forget him. He lives forever in our thoughts and memories.

[bwa]

.. I was in boot camp during one year anniversary of his death.... This bring back a lot of emotions... You will not be forgotten Shannon.

[Odysseys]

few weeks back, i was cleaning out my parts bin for the 9r and came across a set of brackets he made for me when i was geting into drag racing the 9r so i can strap my front end down. needless to say i still have them.

if our boy was around i dont think he would want us to be sad, but remember the good times and more so pass on the efforts of helping people like he use to do.

face it, shannon would help just about anyone if he could do it.
even if couldnt he would try anyway:laughing

peace bro.

Fletch, great post, thanks for the picture.

My friend is in a better place watching over us all. For this I give thanks.
Every time I go to the track, my thoughts find their way to Shannon. His willingness to help others will remain the cornerstone of my life. Each and every person I meet at the track reminds me of how special we all are to someone and what an impact we can all make for each other.
It is often said that we enjoy a very dangerous sport and we need to always remember we are the main influence to the safety of our fellow riders. As I think of Shannon's contribution, I'm reminded of the fellowship we also enjoy.
As we pass our fellow riders, give them a little more room. Remember the varying skill levels. Help those when given the chance. And don't forget to party.

YTRAP = "Party" spelled in reverse

I'm saddened by our lose, but still humbled by his contribution to my life.

[BLARNEY]

Thanks for the picture Fletch.......
