Folks,
This is Popcorn's son. Some of you may have known my father, may have even gone for a ride with him. For that reason, I feel I should let you know he has taken his last ride. My father was injured at work. He fell off his truck and hit his head. At this point we believe he is no longer with us, we will know for sure in the morning. If you are the praying type, please say one for a fellow rider. One thing is for sure, he loved riding his bike and enjoyed talking parts and rides with anyone.
God bless,
Randall

Randall,
I am very sorry to hear this about your Dad. My thoughts and prays are with you, and your family.
I lost my Dad almost exactly 9 years ago due to a head injury, so in a small way I know what you might be going through at this time.

Randall,
I wish I had seen this yesterday. All of my best to your dad and the rest of your family. I recently met your dad this past summer in Ohio when he met up with some of us. Right away I got the sense that he was good people. I will be praying for things to go well today. Please keep us informed.

Very sorry to hear of this shocking news about your dad's accident.
Add me to this family of Triumph riders who are hopeing Phil and the rest of his family the best of all outcomes here.
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)

My dad passed away today at 1:00 pm. The head injury was too much and the swelling was too severe for him to survive. Following his wishes, we have donated his organs. He will ride on in others. My family and I appreciate all the kind words, and I am glad he was able to meet a few of you guys.
Thanks again,
Randall
