We Lost A Member

I had to ride to Illinois today to see a Doctor. About 100 miles.

After the Doctor visit I rode another 25 miles to see "Sonny".

He was a member but didn't post much at all. He dealt with a lot of members here by phone and email. I have his number in my cell phone.

He is a great Kawasaki mechanic that has built some record holding engines.

He had a huge stash of parts and was good for any hard to find part.

I asked for him at the front desk and was told he had got killed in a head on car/motorcycle crash when the car turned in front of him.

When I left I did a good burn out in his memory. He would have. Roy

i really hate hearing stories like this.
i don't think i heard of him but it's a shame when anyone loses their life, member or not.
i feel for his family. i wish them strength during this trying time.

Via con Dios!!!

Sonny worked at Phillips Pro Cycle in Carbondale,Il.

He got killed last year. His last post was eight months ago.

I only got to see him maybe a couple of times a year.

He had one bad bike. 1000R with a air shift with the air in the swingarm. The best electronics with a stutter box.

A real sleeper. Roy

bummer...the old left turns a killer fo sho...

R.I.P Sonny...

i'm sure he enjoyed the burnie...i would...

thanks for posting this roy..

total bummer.....he's free now

Really sorry to hear that.

That's gotta be one of the most common accidents. A fed Ex truck got me the same way. Now I slow down at any intersection if there is someone in on-coming traffic in case they swing a left at the last second.

I hope Sonny's family are taken care of. I'll think of him when I ride.
