At 12:05am on October 9, 2009, Fireyladd - Retired Chief Sharp said…: Yes, I ride a Harley. (pics of it on my page) I used to ride a Kawasaki ZZR 1200 (sport Bike) pretty much killed me in 03. I died and was revived after laying it down and slamming into a guardrail. Woke up 11 hours latter in intensive care in the hospital. Spent 12 days in the hospital and 1 1/2 years doing physical therapy and being off work. After I finally recovered I went out and bought a Honda VTX 1800. When I got married two years ago my wife talked me into buying the Harley. Our Department has myself and Asst Chief are full time paid. The rest (45) are volunteers. When I started out it was exciting and fun. Still is Bro.

At 11:08pm on October 8, 2009, Fireyladd - Retired Chief Sharp said…: Patrick, Yes, I ride with Wind & Fire Motorcycle Club. State of Jefferson Chapter. It is an International motorcycle club made up of firefighters who ride Harleys. I have been here in Brookings Oregon all my career Bro. I started out here as a volunteer firefighter and in 92 was promoted to Chief. In 94 the City made the position full time paid. It has been a great opportunity as I grew up here in Brookings as well. Yes your right bout the memorial being moving. I was very moved by the respect and admonition shown us on the ride from Denver to Colorado Springs. The actual memorial tore me up. I hope to return back there maybe this next year again.
