Pat Farrel 

After a two year battle against various cancers our friend and founding member, Pat ended his life the way he lived, on his own terms. Crusty, blunt, highly opiniated, lovable, loyal and funny as hell. All these words describe Pat. He had a lot in common with Frank Sinatra in that he lived his life His Way.

No rider would be left alone, on the side of the road if Pat was around. Always the first to volunteer and to help. Unfortunately he had not been able to ride his beloved Shovel, in the last two years since being struck by a careless driver at an intersection. After a long period of wrangling with insurance and repairs it is only now, almost ready for the road. He will be sadly missed by us all.
