Wow.... I don't know what to say. I'm totally in shock, sad, angry, and if I wasn't at work I'd probably be in tears and a down a couple of bottles of beer.
FriarJohn was someone I always looked up to since I joined this forum. I knew I could always count on him for straight answers. He was one of the many reasons I love this forum.
I'll never forget the day he made my bike a featured bike when I was still new to the forum. It may be small in the grand scheme of things in life but it was big to me and I felt extremely honored.
I can't count how many times my dad (capt_lou) and myself would be chatting away about things to do with our bikes and FriarJohn would come up constantly. He never knew it, but he was a good friend to my dad and me.
You will truely be missed John!!!!

The Good Friar, once wrote me, Quote:
I can't decide what's greater, your insanity or my jealousy.
Today I rode Prudence for the first time since John and rode back together from the GA Rally. The Rally was just one of many rides that allayed what he jovially referred to as his jealously. John had come to know well the open road since he wrote that to me September 1, 2010 and in that I rejoice. He also knew our insanity remained intact as he wrestled CG to the shoulder of a lonely GA highway one sunny Sunday in May. We'll always have GA, and I, thanks to John, an insane appetite for adventure.

Oh my gosh. This is so bad. I spoke with him three weks ago-seems so unimportant now. R.I.P. John.

For those that had ever met Friar ... you know what he'd saying right now. He'd be telling us to stop being pansies (he would have used different worlds of course) and get out and ride. Heck, he'd be geared, saddled, the bike would be started and heading out while we were left talking.
Never got the chance to meet him in person, but it doesn't change knowing that you are right. I got out on my America today and felt his presence - I feel like I have two fellow rider souls watching out for me now... my friend, Patty, who was hit on her bike by a truck last May, and now John.
Hurts to lose anyone like this, but they will always be on my mind, in my heart, and keeping an eye out over us every time we ride.
RIP John.
