Distance was no barrier to this friendship, John we had a blast, Daytona Bike Week in the 90's to The Manx Grand Prix just before covid, and many rides in-between.On johns first visit to the Isle of Man I won't say alcohol was involved but two up on a GPZ900R at speeds exceeding 100mph on the Mountain Mile without helmets was memorable, especially when his only pair of glasses blew off and he's hammering on my back. I thought he meant go faster! Anyway we stopped and walked back searching until we heard the howl of 911 doing a early morning lap coming up the road. He saw us , squealed to a holt and smiling said " Your glasses are half a mile back in the middle of the road, I missed them!".
After recovery we hiked back up to the bike and continued on after signing our names with full bladders in the middle of the race track. Not so crazy these years later we still laugh at our continued survival. As long as we have the memories you're still with us John.
