It starts here, but in fact it really started back in 2005 when I joined ADV.

The RR on ADV here >>> http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=468278
I wanted to share this with my friends here.
1800 miles just to deliver a hug to an old, dear friend.

I know you 2 hate hearing shit like this, but fuck it I'm going to say it anyway.
The world needs more people in it like you guys.
Good to see Komet on the up and up with his beautiful family at his side.

No better reason ever to reach out and touch a life.
Thanks for sharing, thank you more for inspiring, thank you always for the courage to do both.

No honey, his prognosis is very poor.
At this point I hope his pain is controlled and his passing gives him and his family peace when it comes.

In situations like this I always think of the sentiments in this old Alan Parsons song - http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/the_alan_parsons_project/old_and_wise.html ... (it always makes me smile & cry at the same time)
Sounds really trite, but the best I can think around this sort of helplessness is that you can but do what you alone can do for someone - remember them ... and in reflecting on them & their special ways, you can't avoid honouring their lives in the way you react to the memories they left.
(Yep, in a contemplative mood. About 2 months ago had my own "fright" - multiple pulmonary embolisms, both lungs, no known cause, luckily no cardiac follow-on. Still on the warfarin, at least 6mths, as per usual. Not the best at still under 40... Makes me remember why it's worth the risk to ride, sometimes you've just got to get on with appreciating the world today cause tomorrow is never guaranteed.)
Take care everyone.

Thank you for your post max.
I'm a nurse, so I had to reply about the above.
Please research the following "incidence of occult cancer in patients with acute pulmonary embolism"
http://www.chestjournal.org/content/103/3/816.full.pdf
Please follow up with your doctor with this information, it could save your life.
KEEP Riding with joy,
Gwen

Thanks Gwen ... Found more papers on this too. Doctor here hadn't heard of it (was going to take the AMA papers to the local GPs meeting for their monthly meet-&-greet!) so it's still "filtering down", it seems. Had the tests for blood-markers for the majority, nothing but a bit of liver imbalance found (likely the anticoagulant, monitoring now) ... but definitely worth the check given the ~10% occurance rate quoted.
Appreciate the heads up, good luck with all the forks etc... Pet project here is ramping up for an electric conversion when the engine has problems - guessing in next 2-5yrs, probably high-capacity lithium batts will be ready when I get around to moving on it!
Cheers, thanks again.

I met another K11 rider on this trip.
He posts as Solo Gato on ADV.
Here he is with his sweet white bike.
He's tall like Abreeze and I told him Audi might be able to give him some pointers.
