    Unhappy Ralph, Milehigh, Barn, MV (Old GDC peeps). An old friend has left us.

    I am going to keep this short because I am at a loss.
    For all of you who used to be avid Gixxer.com people with me one of the old members has passed.
    MPD/Mike had a heart attack and died. 34 years old, fellow racer, great human being.


    The thread is here

    RIP buddy
    I miss racing..... so so so so so much. Might as well drink

    Holy crap! That is very sad news.

    Edit: JTF I tried posting in the gdc thread but when I'm logged in as me, I can't see that whole section of the site anymore... But I'm still a mod there. Odd. I left word in the mods forum, hopefully someone can fix it.

    Dude it is ok, that place is a fucking piece of crap after Brian left.
    Sad times....



    Thanks to Jer I know about this BTW, if he wouldn't have text messaged me last night I don't know when I would have found out. If you still have any contact info for Mr. G. you should try and let him know. From what I understand it ain't happenin.



    Good to see you are going to try and make a comeback racing BTW. My shit is going to be a fucking ghey ass bitch slapped street bike this summer. Fucking kill me now.


    Much love to you and Donna

    I'm trying one email address I had for him. Beyond that I don't have contact info.

    Wow. I'm very sad to hear this news. Just one of those reminders about how things are always riding on an edge that we may not even know is there. Godspeed to Mike and his family. If you still do post on there, JTF, give the CSC's best, please.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    Wow, that's crazy. That dude was all over gixxer.com -- used to bust my nuts all the time. Didn't realize he was so young...

    Didn't know him, but sad to hear about the loss. Too young to pass, for sure.

    Godspeed, rider, and deepest condolences to family and friends...

    Jon - you really need to call Ralph! Lots going on in our neck of the woods.
    Hope you are doing well. Have not seen you in a while.
