Ask them if they get with his family to let us know what their wishes are and if they want us to give to something he was in support of.

After reading that thread, I think the track day is a bad idea for us to join in. Why? Because it's not what Bill loved. He loved street riding. I think giving to the rescue squad is a better idea. Maybe the money could be used for something that saves another rider out there in his canyon.

Bill was always steadfast in his beliefs, would he change his mind about street riding?

Well, he did attend several track days, but due to time & convenience, he rode the streets more often........particularly that same road (Ortega) with a core group of people

Trip, he wasn't against trackdays. Just cheap :lol:

I think these guys are thinking if they make it easier to get to the track, guys will go. I'm torn.

The track is not the answer for everyone. I love street riding. I still ride the gap, have lost several friends there. Bill loved the street, I would rather give my money to help something he loved.

Tracks can kill people as well. Peter Lenz for one. We had a rash of incidents a few years ago in a local org.

Then it should probably go to his gym.

Yeah, we don't have to decide this right away. If we could find out what his family would want, that would be the best option.

Yup. I'm a big fan of not deciding things when it is emotional.

Still bummed. Dead sucks.
