Our heavy hearts go out to all of Tom´s family and friends. In the short time we got the privilege to know and ride with Tom, his infectious smile and love for life made all of our lives that much better. He will never be forgotten and always be loved and remembered. And always a part of our crew. Every time we throw a leg over our bikes and ride, we will have him in our hearts.
