Default Lost another good friend today..
A friend of mine passed this morning of a heart attack. He was a great guy and the best Harley mechanic I will ever have known. Just killed me when I found out. He called 911 on himself, but was dead by the time the paramedics arrived at his house. He was definitely an old original, and was well known in the biker community here. He loved motorcycles more than anything on the planet and was a genius when it comes down to it. He travelled all but 5 states in the union on a motorcycle, and had plans doing that. We had known each other for 24 years, and were instant friends the first time I ever met him. There will never be another like him. You guys know what I look like, but I'm on the left, my buddy Jeff Bicht who passed is in the middle, and Fred "Preacherman" McCoy is on the right. Preacherman will be doing the service. There will never be another one like Jeff, and I miss him terribly already. The pic of us three was taken in June.

Hate to hear that. I like to think they'll be keeping the beer cold for us when we cross over.

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that James. Good friends are hard to find. I'm sure you'll pour one out for him too.

About all I can type at the moment without making it about me. It's been a bad couple of weeks.

It's always tough losing good friends James, my heart goes out to ya. I lost my best buddy years ago to a brain tumor at 37 years old.
God speed Jeff.

There will probably be hundreds of bikes at his service. I will take pictures there too. He was well known, and highly respected in the middle Ga area. I have to go to his house tomorrow to pick up a friends bike he was working on. The world is a lesser place with him gone....
