I'm really sorry to hear about your dad, Max. My condolences to you, your mom, and the rest of your family. A few years ago, one of my brothers passed away, and certain events still trigger my fond memories of him. It will take a little time for the sorrow of your dad's passing to go away, but the happy memories of him will stay with you.
I wish I knew it was you on the bike...we would've loved to stop and meet, Max.
