yeah lets figure something out.

I think we should setup a different post so people can chime in if and when they can come.

Very sad news.

Awww f%$k

 My condolences to his family. He was such a passionate guy and really knew his stuff.

john can you grant him some honorary custom title?

Wow, the few times I talked to him on here he was extremely helpful and I just came on here  today to order a chain guard from him.

The community is out one great guy and contributor of knowledge to this site. I've used countless posts and vids of his as resources then working on my bike.

I bet he's in a pretty kickas$ bike cave up there.

Maybe somebody can do a hole shot down that gravel driveway just one more time for adidas...

Holy S!  From the moment I first bid on a gs500 on ebay and realized that he was also bidding to the moment when he helped me with tons of parts, time, and friendship, Patrick was amazing.  Just the other day I was in Beijing at an Adidas store telling the kids I was teaching that a guy I know...

I will be forever changed.

Been out of town for the past week.. Just met up with Watevaman to give him a couple header bolts and he told me the news.. Truly tragic. Pat's family, friends, and all the GS'ers will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Owe nothing to me. Pay it forward and do someone else a favor.
There are 2 types of jewels. One has a large diamond in it. The other has a lot of small textures. First is older, second is newer. What year is your bike and what type do you have? I'll try to give you the same type.
I'll mail it out Monday.

Press it in and secure it with some super glue from the back side. So yes, take out your gauges & stuff to do it. At the same time, add some glue to the other jewels.

(PM sent on the 20th from adidas)

He sent me the oil light jewel on the 21st and included a freaking sweet postcard with the Husky bike on it that I put on my desk at work as soon as I received it. It's gonna stay there and I've gotten sooo many questions about it. I'd never even talked to him before and he sent me the part the only way to get it (not a replaceable part according to Suzuki). Seriously, class act kinda guy and I second the burnouts down that driveway.

Haven't worked on the bike (aka needed the forum help) for a few days now but absolutely floored to find this tonight.

Thanks for that!  I  needed a laugh.

the driveway?! .. i wonder if we could ask this guy? 

RIP Patrick, you and your generosity will be missed

I changed his custom title to something more appropriate per request.

I cant believe this. I just found out 15 mins ago.I've been meaning so bad to get a ride with him recently. I cant believe this. The most carreful and responsible rider I have ever met. Last time I talked to him on the phone he told me to not be a stranger. I'm shocked and I cant believe it............

Tomorrow I ride for Patrick. Rain or shine, I'm riding on Vashon this saturday and will pay my respects where Patrick left this world. Who's coming with me?
