Hey all, I have been lurking from time to time but rarely post any more... I got a call yesterday afternoon from an ex-wife, Laura, of a friend of ours. Seems that Steve K (IA) passed away on Saturday :'( Steve and I were friends for quite a few years (dating back to the RJ days), and rode together for quite a few miles (met him at InZane II or III?). He had some health issues, and evidently succumbed to the 90+ heat in the Midwest this past weekend. While he and I differed in our views on politics, our friendship was better than that, and we had a good time no matter what we were doing or where we were  I spoke to Steves daughter, Jessie yesterday, and said I would pass this information on... I may attend, but it is next Friday afternoon (Memorial Day Weekend). OBIT - https://www.cedarmemorial.com/Obituary/2022/May/Steven-R-Kolsto/Black Dog |

I remember conversing with him on the board from time to time, though I never met him in person. Thanks for the update, I often wonder about the voices we don’t here from for a good while. Sorry to hear of his passing.

I did not know the gentlemen but I was at InZane II at least we might have that in common. I struggle, at times, on what to say about the passing of someone whom I did not know well but we shared common interests (AKA Riding). By accident, I found this song by Tim McGraw. I offer it here as a way of remembering an "old friend". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3Q62hf8a9A&list=RDK3Q62hf8a9A&index=1 |

Sad news indeed. Steve made me a set of custom pegs for my Mick O’Pegs back in the day. Also rode chairlift up a mountain in Bellaire, MI at Inzane. He was scared of heights and told me to just keep talking to get his mind off the ride. Had a good laugh at the end.
RIP

Black Dog I’m sorry to hear about your friend. I haven’t seen him post much in the last few years, but he always seemed like a good dude to me.  |

So sorry to hear of this. Had many friendly conversations at various InZanes over the years. As Blackdog said, we had different political views but had many common interests and I always enjoyed his company.

Sorry to hear this. At one time he had a purple Valk and attended a couple of the old covered bridge rides in Indiana. Was a friend of mine on FB also. RIP Steve
