Hope no one finds this post inappropriate. In 2011 I lost a dear friend and cycle jumping fan to a tragic accident. He too served our country. He bought and rode one of the first production RD350 yamaha's made famous by Kenny Roberts. I bought my first "jump bike" from him, a 125cc Penton (KTM). He was a much better road racer than I was jumper, regularly beating me and my bigger suzuki in back country illegal road races. A big man, known as the "gentle giant", he was a "old school" jumper fan to the end.I will miss but not forget him. Hoo-Rah !
