It might sound a little strange to say but I actually think of The Good Friar most days - he gifted me a fabulous buffalo hide wallet that is in my pocket nearly every day.
As a moderator, we had been in touch fairly regularly via PMs etc (the site was much busier back then) in addition to messages through the site though, obviously being on this side of the Atlantic, meeting up was never going to be a regular occurrence but we did meet up in, I believe in 2009, heading to Dwight's.
I was with Wendy in Las Vegas and John had come down from Montana and was staying with friends. Wendy and I had a couple of days in his company before we rode down together to Prescott, AZ.
We had a few days at Dwight's we rode back North with John until our routes split, he went North back to Montana and we rode West back to Vegas.
Great time.
Still miss ya fella
