Roy-B-Boy-B passed yesterday

I remember Roy. Always helpful. A great source of knowledge and a regular contributer although we havnt seen him here for a few years. 

Sad news indeed.

condolences to his family
 

Of course, I didn't know Roy, but it's always sad + bad when an apparently good person has to go....R.I.P. Roy

When someone like Roy passes I think we all realize we're getting older and it could just as easily be us who departs.  

Years ago Roy was a moderator on Wired George's chat site and I got to appreciate his knowledge at a time when I desperately needed help to restore my Z1B.  I'm sad that he's gone.  He was a positive force in my life.

RIP Roy. I didn't know him but sounds like a well loved gentleman with  vast knowledge of the z1. He will be sadly missed I'm sure.

I met Roy in the early 2000’s at Mid-Ohio as well.  Maybe when the MSN Z1OC days (been too long to remember exactly).  I think we spoke a couple times on the phone long ago.  He was a good guy from the few interactions I had with him.

RIP Roy.

Later, Doug
 

That's where we first met him, too.  Likely few here would be aware of that old forum.  It's where our avatar came from; a member in Norway(?). posted it & we just had to adopt it as our own.  From a Norwegian(?) motorcycle safety campaign. Good times! Small interwebs...

Good Ridin'
