Hunter S. Thompson Quote -- RIP Mike Tag

This seemed rather fitting after the news of Mike Tag's passing. Words to live by.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
― Hunter S. Thompson

R.I.P. Mike "Tag" Tagliavento

I first meet Mike in 1994 on a road trip from Chicago to Iowa for a Rampage contest, and our paths have managed to cross paths quite a few times over the past 18 or so years. I am blessed to have had a chance to ride with and call this man my friend. Such a sad day, we lost a legend way too young. R.I.P. Mike.
