I always looked forward to Zhool's posts. He was very experienced and although you could tell he really HAS "been there, done that," he was never cocky about it.
He will be missed greatly as his passing is a great loss. Condolences to his family and friends.
I felt that I knew him just from hanging out here at the board.
I think I can safely say that many of us here feel we've lost a friend.
Godspeed, Don.

So sorry Larry. I know exactly how you feel. Losing a best friend is a tremendous loss. Please extend our thoughts to his family.

I remembered reading this that he wrote some time back and I laughed my ass off. I did a search and found it.
Quote from Zhooligan.
"Thats about all I can say at the moment. I need to go count my millions. This has become significantly more difficult since my wife fixed the holes in my socks."
RIP Z

Swft, You did not say it was Zhoo!! On the other Board!! They were talking about this on Easy's site and I looked and it never said Zhoo! Now I have nothing to say! I really liked that guy, he even helped me resolve a problem with the Ohlins Shock Spring and a lot more! Say it aint so!!

...it is so, VH...although I've only met these two guys twice, we're all here and I feel like we all "know" each other...hang out on these boards long enough and that's what happens...reading what one writes in a letter or on these boards makes it a purer interaction between each other, I think, so I feel that we all "know" each other to a degree...I feel ill about this...this "family" of ours has lost someone very special to us...

I see that it is "So" and right now, I am having a hard time just breathing! The Word Family / Brother! Actually I liked Zhoo more than my real brother. I just cannot imagine how Swift is dealing with this. Not to see Zhoo's Post, WOW! He got along with me when few others could! Now I understand why the mention of cards. This is one time that we need to do something!
Wierd, the only thing from this board that has most of us on it is the Banner! I hate to say this, because I do not know how it sounds, but for my part, I would ask if the banner could be burried with him! I already feel like part of this board is missing!

I really enjoyed my time with Zhooligan during his visit to Bend. Condolences to his family and friends from all of us at MUZZYS.

Thought/WISHING this was some kind of joke...
I'm in shock...truly feel like I have lost a friend...one that I wasn't lucky enough to meet in person
This one is hard to swallow (not that ANY are easy)...
God Speed, RIP Zhooligan...

This is awful. I'm terribly saddened and I know how you must feel, Larry.
I'm glad I got got to know Don a little bit at least. He seemed like a very generous, giving person with a true passion for life. He will be missed by us,
Godspeed Don.

I've gotten some new info from the ME today. Apparently, Don suffered massive physical trauma when the ATV landed on top of him as he and it went down the slope. Thanks for all the well wishes for his family.
