Don’t take stuff to the grave…solid advise Smitty. Dealing with loss is hard for those left behind. When they pass, they pass…your feelings stay with you. Make those good feelings. Good topic man!
Thank you sir. I appreciate the kind words and the solid advice! Life is definitely too short to hold on to grudges and not let stuff go. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for the mention. That video i shot was hard for me to do. Loosing your wing man/person is sobering for some folks. Life changing for others. You offer some on point advice to not let the sun set on bad feelings. Reach out and mend those bridges. Life is short! Eric
super glad you liked it bud 👊🏻 there really is never a convenient time to pass. Something that has always stuck with me was, i was attending a former colleagues funeral and his wife was speaking to a similar subject as this video, she said: "If you would of called me the morning that Mike passed away and asked me, What is the worst thing in the world that could happen today, I would have said not making this big sale i was working on, The day he passed was the worst day of my life and I took it for granted" I was shopping for Christmas gifts when my dad went into the hospital for the last time. When i got the call instantly i thought "ok, we'll head that way but he'll probably be out by the time we get there" (he'd been in the hospital about 30 times that year) When he didn't come out, up until that day, it was the worst day of my life, and I took for granted he was gonna come home.
Man I appreciate you for all your help and I greatly appreciate you sharing the story about your dad and about your colleague. Time really is short and we can’t get it back. Thanks for watching and for your support my friend.
Man I'm sorry for your loss. Those ones are the hardest and you never know when it's going to be the last time with them. This reminded I need to call a good friend mine, solid video my friend 👊
Absolutely! I’m all about let it go. We ain’t gotta be friends but we certainly don’t have to be enemies. I refuse to let any hate or ill will fester, it’s not worth it. Thanks for watching Ben!
Well said Smitty. I've lost more than a few people the last few years, and this week marked the 1st anniversary of my old friend's death on his motorcycle last year of a heart attack. I lost a cherished cousin last year to Covid. I guess as time goes on it will get more and more frequent. I keep seeing all my rock star favorites dying off and some of those are hard to accept (Bowie, Charlie Watts, Eddie Money, Eddie Van Halen, etc.). One of these days it will be a really big one like Mick or Keith, Paul or Ringo, Steven Tyler, etc., and those will really hurt. I personally have come to realize the importance of making my feelings known and letting people know I care about them. And I'm doing just that. A former good friend of mine disowned me a couple years ago when I wouldn't take sides in a dispute between him and a mutual neighbor of ours. I had no animosity toward him. He came over last night after two years of ignoring me, and said his GF was kicking him out, he couldn't afford rent anywhere, and he'd be losing his childhood home. I told him if he wants to be friends again, I'd welcome him back with open arms despite the situation, and he agreed. So maybe I'll get a friend back. He was near tears, and he's never shown much emotion, so I knew he was in a bad place. The other side of this is to get and keep your financial affairs in order with a durable power of attorney, a will, a living will, life insurance and making sure beneficiaries are current, etc. We all hate doing this because it's unpleasant to think about and usually costs money, but it helps tons when something unexpected happens. I'm working on that now at my sister's urging after our other sister suffered a stroke early this year. Good topic. Tongue click and fingers pointed back atcha. 👉🥃🎵🎧👍🌮🏍🏍🏍😎🕶🍺☝🥓🍔🐶😜 P.S. Just ordered a set of Metzeler ME 888's for the Valk!
Thank you very much my friend for watching and for sharing. I’m sorry you’ve lost family Los the last couple of years. That ain’t easy to deal with. I’m glad you and your buddy are mending fences. Hopefully that works out and y’all can be good with each other again. Again, I appreciate the kind words and the support!
You are a good man Smitty. What I try to tell ppl and try to do myself is concentrate on the good and the good memories of the fallen. Not easy but a path to carry on 👊🏻
Good to touch on serious subjects when the need arises. Nothing wrong reminding others that life is short, let others know you appreciate them while we can. For none of us know what tomorrow holds for us or them.
Yes I have, I lost my wife of 18years to Overian Cancer in November 2023. I am still dealing with heartache and such. I have not touched any of her things and don't really feel like it right now. I am keeping faith and trying to stay positive.
Man I’m so sorry. I can’t even begin to imagine how you feel. My wife and I have been married for 18 years and the thought of losing her is devastating. I know it sounds corny but like you said, staying positive and look forward to better times in the future. Do your best to enjoy life and honor her memory. I’m sure that’s what she would want you to do. To live life and treat each day as a gift. Keep your head up my friend and thank you for sharing your story.
Its funny. As we age and look back at things we realize we are not all working on the same countdown clock, Life is short. Love your people. Great reminder.
Thanks for watching and for the great comment! You’re absolutely right, everyone is in a different countdown and nobody knows exactly when it’s their time.
Good topic. We lost so many local riders last year it was really tough on the group. A couple guys just stopped riding all together after that. dealing with loss is always tough no matter the situation.
Good topic. A couple of weeks out from losing my mom a year ago. Difficult.
My condolences. Sucks losing a parent. Thanks for watching and sharing that.

Thanks Jason. Call your friends while you can! I’m with you, you never know what tomorrow brings. Thanks for watching my friend!
good topic man and It is hard to let go of grudges and talk again but it does make life easier not to hold on to all the anger
Absolutely! I’m all about let it go. We ain’t gotta be friends but we certainly don’t have to be enemies. I refuse to let any hate or ill will fester, it’s not worth it. Thanks for watching Ben!
