Chuck "txcwdancer" Burt down....

This was just posted by Tony D on VROC.
There are no words...

"All,

I think a lot of you know my Uncle Charles Burt. I have just been informed
while he was almost home back in Texas from his multi state tour, he was on
his last leg when he changed lanes to the right lane due to a car stopping
in front of him and he ran into the back of a dump truck parked in the right
lane. According to the trooper he died instantly."

Christ. I hate this sh1t. If there is anything we can do, let us know. Pegs down.

Just to clarify, I copied Tony Ds post. He's not my uncle, but an online friend who will surely be missed. Prayers out to his family.

What a shame. I have been reading his posts on various forums for quite awhile. I did not know him personally. I know he was big on both the VROC and Delphi forums. I'm so sorry to hear about this.

Edit: I didn't make the connection until BD mentioned it in his post. I don't know what to say for once.

Correct me if I'm wrong, AG - but he isn't TonyD's uncle either. Tony was posting an email from Michael Harrelson. I think I have it right now.

For those who don't know Chuck. He goes by txcwdancer here on KawaNOW. Chuck is a fellow staff member. Trip and I found out early this morning and were waiting for his family to be notified before we posted it here.

As a fellow staff member I've been in shock all day over this. He is a good riding buddy of Trips and I don't have the words for him. I'm speechless.

God Bless you Chuck "txcwdancer" your "ostridge head" avitar will be missed here at KawaNOW. We have lost our first memeber..... :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :'( :'( :'( :'(

It is always hard when a fellow biker goes down

ponch · 07-22-2008, 07:18 PM

I am sure we could make him Chief Trip/Travel Consultant Emeritus.

Thanks CJ.
Sorry for the confusion all. I'm just kind of reeling. Although I can't say I knew him well, I knew him well enough to know he was a good guy and I for one will miss his posts and blogs.

nightmare · 07-22-2008, 07:20 PM

I am truly sorry for the loss. My prayers are with his family, and ours here.

**trip** · 07-22-2008, 07:22 PM

I found out about Chuck "txcwdancer" Burt at lunch today. I've been wrestling with it all day. I didn't want to say anything on KawaNOW until I knew the family was notified. Chuck and I have ridden together on many trips. Chuck was a fellow rider, a staff member here on KawaNOW and a good friend.

When we found out about it, we weren't sure it was Chuck, but after several Austin Texas VROC members made some phone calls, we finally came to the realization that it was indeed Chuck. I've been in a funk all day long over this. My prayers go out to his family.

Chuck was within 20 miles of getting home on a trip to Idaho and Oregon.

Here are a couple of links to news reports of the accident:

http://www.keyetv.com/news/local/sto...651CE&gsa=true

http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/s....9_ near_ge.html

I ask that all KawaNOW members and everyone that knew Chuck remember him and his family in their prayers.

Rest in peace, Chuck.

Trip

PS. As soon as I know the time and place for the funeral, I will pass it along.

This is really bad news. He was posting a great report of his trip over on our Trip Report board. I appear to be the last to respond to his last post. He was on a fantastic voyage and now he will be on another. RIP txwcdancer

jussmatt · 07-22-2008, 07:50 PM

I really don't know what to say...... I'm speechless......

Chuck...Rest In Peace Our Friend as you Ride the Great Ride in the Sky!!!

Everybody, we have another Angel to watch over us.... he was taken WAY too soon!!

mikesth · 07-22-2008, 07:51 PM

Damn, I hate these things - the stories are disturbing, but the response on the second story is infriating.

Damn :'(

Just Damn...
