Who is posting this?

I'm confused physics-teacher our forum member?

If it is Physics-teacher our forum member who passed, I am truly shocked and saddened by this news. Nice guy and a heck of a rider. Met and rode with him at the Ark rally.

Rip P-T. Hope you get a great view of the eclipse from up there.

Physics-teacher is on the far right in this pic

That is him. Thanks for posting that Frulk. I was confused at first because he went by "Rick" not "Kenrick". He just posted here about suspension mods like on Monday. I'm stunned and sad.

_________________________
You know, he designed all the routes for the Arkansas Rally. He set up at least 10 different ones and I had to edit them down to the 6 or so that we wound up with. InHouseBob did all the layout work of the cards we gave everyone and I had them printed, but Rick did the heavy lifting and wrote fairly detailed notes about various points of interest, road quality, and road condition. We corresponded for several months prior to the rally on a regular basis. I was given a lot of credit for organizing the event, but no one had more time and effort invested in the Arkansas Rally than he did.

My local riding group is heading back to Eureka Springs in September. I had planned on trying to meet with him and Crutch (also from Arkansas) when we were down there. I think I'll take a solo trip on the route he called "Racetrack Loop" when I'm down there.

Thank you for posting, Judy (Rick gave me your name when he registered for the rally). I very much enjoyed getting to know him, first via email and then in person. Peace to you and your family.

Judy, I'm so sorry for your loss. How terribly sad. I never met Rick but it's clear he touched a lot of fellow riding enthusiasts on this forum.

 

[physics-teacher_imp]

this is Rick's wife talking. He was awake and alert for a couple hours but had a very severe injury that took his life quickly. He went in one of the ways he said a real man should die...riding his cycle. He was an amazing man. thanks for your comments.

He was very passionate about motorcycling and science.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Please know that I'm also very grateful that you took the time and made the effort to let all of us know what happened. I'm under the impression that this amazing man was fortunate to be married to an amazing woman. I hope that you'll also realize there will be countless others who too will have your husband in their thoughts and prayers even if they do not speak up.
