Raymond Vice aka Tee Boy
RIP May 17, 2004
Raymond aka Tee Boy, one of the original members of the Hawg Ryder All HD Tech Forum...sadly missed by all. Ray was a biker through and through, he rode hard, partied hard, worked hard, loved hard, and lived harder. I am honored to have met him in person, shared a root beer or two with him, laughed with him, listened to him, and learned from him.
Give 'em hell Tee Boy!!! Save me a seat at the bar, wherever that may be....we ain't done swapping tales yet!!!
Little Tommy Finley
RIP February 1, 2005
Little Tommy was anything but little...he was a big man with a bigger heart, who amazed everyone in the Hawg Ryder's All HD Tech Forum with his unbelievable knowlege of the HD world. Tommy was pure class, a shining example to everyone around him, enjoying life to the fullest even when faced with unbelievable challenges. He was my good friend and I miss our long discussions, I miss his laughter....most of all I just miss him.
You give 'em hell too LT!!! I'll be looking for you and Raymond both to save me that seat at the bar, wherever it may be, 'cause I know we all have more tales to share!!
Panhead Fred
RIP April 12, 2007
Panhead Fred put up one hell of a fight against the Big C before he left us to join Raymond and Tommy at the bar, where they are sharing tall tales and laughs for all eternity. Fred was a hard riding, hard working Union man, taking care to ensure his Brothers were treated fairly. And those same Brothers rallied around to show their love and support as Fred and his family fought his final battle together...as you can see here:
Give 'em
hell Fred, along with Raymond and Tommy...save me a seat, I'll be
joining you to share some laughs again someday!
Paul "Motengable" Lackey
RIP May 14, 2011
Paul was a great man with a huge heart, a decorated Veteran who stood by his Brothers and Sisters at all times. He survived many battles on this Earth, but was taken from us after fighting many health challenges for too many years. I am blessed to have had the time to ride with him and spent many hours laughing and crying alongside his never-ending keg....sharing tales and time as we chatted with his alien friend living in his spaceship at the bottom of the pond behind Paul's home. All of us will miss Paul, but his spirit remains alive in our memories.
Give 'em all hell Paul and save a seat for me alongside all of our other lost Brothers...I know you'll have an ice cold beer waiting for me when I see you next, no matter how hot it may be wherever that is!!
Max Awalt
RIP June 3, 2011
Max and I
served together in the US Army meeting up in Germany back in
1977. Max wasn't aware at the time, but that crazy Knuck riding
sumbitch had a profound impact upon my future life as a Biker. I
hadn't seen Max since shortly after my discharge back to the
World late in '78, but I had thought of him often, reminiscing
about those crazy insane but FUN times overseas. I even tried to
hunt him down more than a few times, but never connected....until
a mutual friend of ours hunted us both down just this year. And
finally, after too many decades, we met up this past Spring down
in the high deserts of SoCal. The conversations and good times
started right up like it had only been days instead of
years...and the love I had for my Brother Max was just as strong
as ever...stronger. Max lived the full life of a 1%er, riding,
living, and loving life 110%. I am so fortunate to have been
given the gift of time to ride alongside him and our great
veteran Brother Robert before Max was called away to party with
all of our other friends who are no longer riding on this Earth.
Hey Max, keep all of the old farts I've lost on these pages in line until I get there! And save some of that trippin' green hash for me!!
