Brad will be missed... Some of my personal experiences with him... While digging through the hundreds of old motorcycle magazines I read as a kid that my dad gave me later on in life. I noticed Brad's name in the masthead. I sent him a pm, and he told me yup that was him... turns out he lost most of his copies to a fire, so I shipped him everything I had that he helped produce. Another time when I posted a question about riding boots... He gave me his password to a website he ran that gave him a substantial discount, told me to order what I wanted and then mail him a check for whatever his cost was.
He and I also shared a passion for woodworking, and I sent him some beautiful local red cedar boards that he planned to use for a canoe he was handcrafting with his kids.

Always quick to help people, Brad seemed to really care about motorcyclists that needed help. He was a wealth of information and communicated it so artfully.
