Derek was indeed a real stand-up guy who will be sorely missed. I had the opportunity of riding with Derek a number of times, most recently up Mount Lemmon here in Tucson. He was always fun to be with, and his knowledge of motorcycles was outstanding.
There will be a memorial gathering for Derek on Wednesday, August 5, starting at 5pm. Location is the Territorial Bar at 3727 S. Palo Verde Road in Tucson. We're hoping to get a decent turnout from some of the local Triumph riders.
