22nd December 1995 was a Friday
A friend like you, the friend we knew
A biker true like us were you

Gone for now, but we know not far
As we attend the rallies you are in our hearts
Through the rain and towards the sun
We drove to places and had such fun
The club will miss you but forget you never
Some day we'll meet you then we'll be together
