For as long as I can remember Hal was part of our family. He was my brother maybe not by blood, but he was my brother.
For 49 years we rode motorcycles together,
logging thousands of miles. I loved everyone of them.
Hal and I never wore helmets or had windshields. Hal told me once that if I ever put a windshield on my bike, I couldn’t ride with him. He could make laugh.
I asked him once why he never waved back at on coming bikers. He said “Because I don’t know them and they have windshields.”
He’ look at me and grin.
We paid our dues for that riding style. Probably the worst being caught in a hail storm in Yellowstone. But I even look back at that painful experience, hail bouncing off our heads with a smile.
One of the last times I saw Hal after he was diagnosed and he knew it was terminal he said “ You know what this means?” I said no what? He said “ You can put a windshield on bike now.” That was Hal and I won’t be doing that!
On December 7th 2023 a date that will live in infamy, we lost Handsome Hal Kilgore.
Nobody didn’t like Hal. His passing is painful to anyone who knew him.
I love him and I’m gonna miss him.
