Sad to say Dave Jones ( VRCC Backroad Biker) passed away earlier this week.
He had been battling a few different medical issues over the last few years and at 78yrs (if I recall correctly) it all caught up with him.
He had sold his other motorcycles but kept the Valk hoping to ride again but the end of last year he finally broke down and sold the ole girl.
I met Dave back in the "Marcus Dairy" days about the same time as meeting Larry P and BOZ . I guess about 2004. We all met most every Sunday and rode, well, when we could get Dave to finish one of his "short" stories

.
Dave was well liked by everyone he met and always ready to help anyone in any way. Myself, VRCC and the entire motorcycle community lost a good one.
You will be missed old friend !!!
