Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

He was a good one, gone too soon.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

I always found it funny that we shared a Bday, the way we butted heads. This site lost something when he passed.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

I miss him all the time but especially when I see something with his bulldog avatar on it. Funny how I can miss and think of him having never had the pleasure of meeting him in person.

I'm with you Ian.
I miss him twice, firstly for his not being around with his comments, knowledge and wit, and secondly for never having the opportunity to meet him in person.
I'm not afraid to say I was visibly shaken by his passing, I felt that I knew him.

A bit late but nonetheless remembered.... Here's to the good Friar John...may he always be remembered.. For his passion in motorcycle on the Worlds best Brand, For his spirit of good fellowship with kindred minds, For the wealth of his technical knowledge and help...which many of us sought when mechanical troubles came upon us, For his connection to all on this forum, as a friend and supporter... And last, For the Hammer he wielded when necessary... Truely a legend ....
