We sure will miss the welcome wagon to the forum Jim. RIP
As to that, there's no reason we shouldn't carry on his example. In fact as our personal tribute to his memory there's every reason we should try to match his example.
Always a gentleman and a great organizer of Rides in Arizona. RIP
Ode to FNMag, Wickenburg, AZ Feb 2014. RIP Jim

Rest easy Jim and ride on.
I see that this thread is a couple of years old but I just found it today and wanted to add to the tribute.
I bought Jim's '98 ST from him in 2009 and I decided to stop by the forum and let him know I still have it and it's still doing well. I've been away from motorcycling and this forum for several years, but I've resisted the temptation to sell the ST. Instead I've kept it stored inside and covered as a memento to all of the great trips we had and with the thought of maybe someday getting back into riding and camping.
Finally, this summer I put getting it rolling again on my list of things to do, so I came back to the forum to look up some pertinent info and to drop Jim a line as I used to periodically do to let him know his old ST is well. Unfortunately, it looks like I'm a couple of years too late.
I didn't know Jim that well other than buying his bike and occasionally sending him an update on his former scooter, but he seemed like a good person. RIP Jim.

Welcome back to the forum.
Very nice ST1100 there.
Yes, keep that ST rolling. I myself bought an ST that spent too many years in a garage. Only 20k miles on the clock. So I'm now trying to give my ST a 2nd life. ; -)
Thanks to have share that story with Jim (fnmag). I have read this full thread again.
Gone, but not forgotten.

Knowing him only through the forum I couldn't agree more. And you do his ride proud.
