Default Lost a good one...

I know this is not the place, but my heart bleeds and ya'll are my new ridin family.. whether you like it or not~ Quick summery...
For about four years... before gettin my Train.. I rode a Busa~ Not unlike this place, I found one of the best forums for those of us that love our bikes~ The Busa family is a lot like the family I've found with my HD... a tight knit group that would go out of their way to help another in need~ I met and rode with a whole lot of really good people~ Attended the Annual Busa Bash at Deal's Gap almost every year.. up until I got the Train~ One of the key member's and all around good person was known as Vman1300... Kevin was his real name~ For a fairly big man, he could ride the wheels off a sport bike.. draggin knees along the way~ He was always the first to offer up parts or help to anyone that needed it.... didn't matter what you rode~
I still visit the site and try to keep in touch with my Busa family.. although not as much anymore as I do here~ Today I stopped in only to find out that Kevin has lost his two year fight with colon cancer~ It's a very sad day... the world has lost another good man~ Here's a few pics of my friend, Kevin..





Ride with the wind, my friend... R.I.P.

not from Florida but also an ex-Busa rider here (just sold my '01 before I could get back to a Harley). Was he on hayabusa.org? My prayers for Kevin, his family and friends.

EDIT: just logged in there and saw the threads.

Yes, a good man with a good heart. We will miss him.




We rode up to Jennings GP one day to watch him race. He loved his bike and he loved to see what it could do.
