My respects to his family and friends. I helped Jack put his pin on the Google relay map about 6 months ago. He was having trouble with his Google account. Had no idea of his circumstances, RIP Jack.

Wow.

I just read through Jack's thread in the Projects section on his KZ1500 race bike. I got to the end and found out he was gone. :(

I never had the pleasure of meeting Jack, so I sure didn't know the man but...

... my deepest sympathies to his family and friends. :( :(

Although I never got to see him race I shared a show n' shine event class two years ago with him and most of you have seen his drag bike photos in this forum many times. I will forward any more information if I get any.
Godspeed Jack!

:( RIP Jack. Dam sorry to hear this news. Very nice guy and very knowledgeable
