Mike Capicik, venture rider, Indiana state police

[revinger]

Lost a long time friend yesterday. Our schedules never aligned to where we could get together other than an occasional email. He was to officially retire after 28 years with the state police next month. He was in one of the first groups when Indiana restarted their motorcycle officers.

 

We did some really stupid stuff on motorcycles in our 20s and survived.

 

He pointed me to the Ventures 3 or 4 years ago after I tore a leg muscle and couldn't find a comfortable bike. Sold my 85 wing because it hurt to ride. He had a first gen at the time that he swore he had put close to 300k on.

 

Still in shock, thought we might actually be able to get together for a ride finally.

 

Supposed to get in the 50s today here in eastern Illinois. I have got to go for a ride.
