After battling brain cancer since ‘98 Jim passed on Friday evening, Oct 7th. He was 56.
I met Jim in 1998, when I was racing the 250cc GP class in the AMA series. Jim was a guy who was willing to help out a broke rider trying to string it together and race Nationals. He got me thinking about suspension in the right way. We tried to focus on the big picture, the goal, and then try to make that happen. He would always be willing to listen to new ideas. You could always see the gears turning.
I’m sad that my friend is gone.
