Default CycleSpot sad news

I just read on the web page that there was a tragedy and they have decided to close the business. I know many of you have purchased Rush from them and were loyal customers. Here is what is posted on their website.
http://www.cyclespot.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?

Hello CycleChat and CycleSpot Friends and Family,

It is with a heavy heart that we write this note to you all. As most of you know, CycleSpot has been closed since the end of September due to a family emergency. We have faced some very hard decisions during this time and many events that we would not wish upon anyone.

On September 19, 2008, Jim committed suicide. We will never fully understand why he made this decision. In the wake of this tragedy, we have had many difficult decisions to make. One of those was how to proceed with CycleSpot. We closed CycleSpot temporarily while we sorted through Jim’s affairs.

Unfortunately, we have concluded that we must close CycleSpot permanently. Without Jim’s expertise, CycleSpot cannot deliver the service and support its customers deserve.

As we have learned through these recent events, there are many blessings in tragedy if only we are willing and able to see them. So we would like to give to you, the CC community, the opportunity to continue this online family and the camaraderie that you, its members, have built. Markster and Hit Man will be given full and complete reins of CycleChat as soon as we are legally able to turn it over to them.

We wish each and every one of you, our friends, the best.

Sincerely,
Biker Babe, aka Dawn
