Just heard that John passed away Tuesday early morning or Wednesday from a heart attack. Never met him in person but had some long phone conversations, and liked the man. RIP John  :sad:  :sad:

I heard about this yesterday, and was hoping that the rumors were untrue.  John always had a flair for the dramatic (as many of his post will show  :hyst:), so I was just hoping that it was just wurk truk being wurk truk.  Although I only met John in person a hand full of times, I've spent hours upon hours talking to him on the phone over the years.  I just reached out to him via text in early July to see if I could swing by his place for a visit on my way through from a trip, but he was tied up with something else already.  It was a Sunday, and usually Sunday's were reserved for family time.  We kind of left it as we'll try again next time.

I looked through my last several years worth of Vtwin pics, and wurk is flipping me the bird in just about all of them that he was in.    :smiled:  here's one of the few where he used all of his fingers to say hi:

Sad news for sure. even though I didn't get a chance to meet him, he always, through the forums, treated me well, offered to loan me tools and willingly shared information. Glad John didn't suffer. Prayers for family and friends.

Super nice guy, he made great effort to keep me away from the "never-was" types that frequent the forums and always shot me straight.

Godspeed.

Pegs down John,

We talked a few times when we had to rebuild our bike, he gave me a few tips
to help us our when we had to rebuild the second time.

Hope his wife has some good support, I know John and I talked about her
a few times also.
