My Final Jim Henderson Post

[IAG]

I'm a few days late on this- 2/14 was the one year memorial of Jim's passing. It's strange to me that I'm posting this as I never met the man nor even heard his voice. The extent of our interaction was reading his entertaining & intelligent forum posts over the years and selling him a few parts yet I feel that I genuinely got to know him a bit. His passing has become a reminder for me to enjoy life & to enjoy life while riding (Laverda) motorcycles. Life is short & we're not getting any younger- cliché but true. Thoughts to his wife & family.

Yep, Jim remains a member of the Forum, some members were fortunate to know Jim personally, and others like me met him through the Forum. Ride on Jim.

He was a great guy! A true enthusiast in everything he was involved in!!

Jim always had encouraging words, he is greatly missed.

Here are just a few of Jim's bikes. He had 26 at time of his passing. The orange 3C now has the stock exhaust and is ready for its new owner. The green 3C has its front fender and a nice exhaust; it's is now a runner. And the Formula Mirage, she's getting a full restoration. Then we have all the Guzzis and Ducatis to sort out.

RIP Jim,
Only knew him here on the forum but he was certainly a great forum member and will be surely missed.

I miss his humour, and him. RIP Jim
