| Hi all,
This is hard for me to write, but here goes.
My son, Thomas, died last night. While he was a long time bike rider, he did not go out while riding, but from a short lived illness.
I probably won't be here for a while.

| Jon (and family),
I kept writing and re-writing this post because none of the fully conveyed the deep sadness for both you and your family with the death of your son. You and your family have been in my thoughts and prays today.
If there is anything we can do for you or your family, please do not hesitate to let us know.

| I just changed the picture at the top of the forum.
It is not a picture of a Silverwing or picture of someone traveling on a Silverwing. The picture is from Jon Callihan's website www.joncallihan.com .
Every time you bring up the Silverwing forum, there will be a constant reminder for Jon and his family in your thoughts and prayers. _________________ Bill - Georgetown TX 07 Silver Wing ABS Clearview w/vent, Givi E96/TB19/E52 with Admore Lighting, Alaskan Leather, Wrist Rests, 3M Solas tape, K&N air, Hyperpro spring, Grip Puppies, Airhawk, Utopia backrest, Stebel, Apexcone HIDs, StingerZ LEDs (w/Backoff WigWag), Knight Rider Sequential LED, NGK Iridium, Power Commander III, Manic Salamander, Saeng mirrors, Garmin Zumo 660, Dark-Side Sumitomo Tire
