Sorry to hear that, he fought a tough fight against his disease for many years.  He is the perfect example of the American success story but he always found a way to give back.  Nice guy and a great Company to due business with.......

Damn, Thats way too young. JP contributed so much to motorcycling, and was such a positive ambassador for the sport. He has  a nice video on you tube advocating organ donation. Link below in case anyone is interested.

At 62, he checked out way too early...

I met him several times....nice guy and a true motorcycle enthusiast / rider... R.I.P. John, and Godspeed...

Became acquainted with him back in '88, when all his new company sold was Harley stuff. Seemed like a genuinely decent guy, God bless him and his loved ones...
