memorial wall

  • July 13, 2012 6:53 AM PDT
     I am creating a motorcycle memorial wall in Springfield MA.  It will be done using tile and mirror mosaics.  The wall is begun, I will be installing the third bike mosaic (1946 Indian Chief) next weekend..  There is more info about it on my website at http://rmarkey.blue-fox.com/wall.html and I am trying to raise funds to complete it through kickstarter at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1761719284/motorcycle-wall-of-celebration-and-remembrance

     Let me know what you think.

    What an awesome tribute! May I ask, are the names only for those who perished while riding, or is it also for those who perished, but loved to ride? (Will be remembered, as bikers). Just wonderin'. Either way, it's an outstanding idea, and I'm sure, the families of the "lost", will be so grateful. I know I would be. And I don't know, whose names are being included, or how that works. But it's an awesome thing your doing.

    I am intending it to be for those who loved to ride whether they perished on or off their bikes. Once I get it going there will be a website and people can just send me names with a small donation and I will put the names up. I am just trying to make it work as best I can.

    If it is a nice day, the Indian mosaic (1946 Indian Chief) goes up on Sunday. If anyone is in Springfield, swing by and check it out and say hi.
