[QUOTE="Coachpilot, post: 1461193, member: 98593"] I'm new to the forum. Got my first FJR in fall of '22 ('17 ES...couldn't pay twice the $ of an FJR for a Winger or 40 year old technology in the shape of a V-twin). FJR clearly the best for a 5' 5", 60 year old with a 40 year road racing addiction. Love it... [B]but this post is about a guy I never knew: Alan, Professor, Ion, Mr. Beam, etc., whatever you called him.[/B] Sounds like my brother who also passed away far too soon. The things they seem to have in common is an immense amount of knowledge and willingness to share. Though they both had these qualities, they also a willingness to take their own personal TIME to share and help others. Many times I'm sure it was not convenient (working on their own stuff until 2am because they spent 9-11 on the forum helping someone, family needed them for something, etc) but they did it anyway. TAKE THE TIME!: TO HELP OTHERS, FOR YOURSELF, FOR YOUR FAMILY, FOR WHATEVER. You may never get the chance for the things you'll do "in 3 or 4 years" after I... Take the time, it's the one thing that is limited, and we might have a bit less than we planned. RIP Alan (I hope there is a pre-production '24 FJR waiting for you!) [/QUOTE]
