    Never met the guy and it always sux when we lose a rider. However, to have it be someone who was part of our NESR"community" makes the tragedy a little more "real".

    RIP FireFly...

    This really sucks... I wish there was more I could do... RIP Firefly.

    What if YOU were to die in a motorcycle crash? Would this be your final farewell? A RIP thread on NESR?

    If I go on my bike there had better be a friggin drunkathon!

    Being the kind of guy Firefly was, I'm sure he was surrounded by a loving family and friends.

Poked my head out my back door, followed the sound of his F4i down the ally & found him wrenching on his bike installing his Micron exhaust.

    Part of me is glad I introduced him to NESR, but part of me always felt bad cuz of the (friendly) ribbing he always got for all his silly questions (even though they always made me chuckle) but at the same time I know he learned a lot from everyone here.

    Definitely a character and definitely a good guy. Played a mean guitar & was a funny dude to hang out with. I genuinely wish I got a chance to ride with him more than once or twice.

    You'll be missed, Tim. Rest in piece, bro.

    Dan, thanks for logging in to share the sad news. Please send my condolences to the rest of his friends & family. Any chance there will be a funeral service closer to Boston?

    Ah man.. I remember meeting Tim very clearly as well. Pete introduced me to him one time when I was at Pete's apartment. We went and checked out Tim's F4i and just shot the breeze for a while. I used to always give him grief on the board about his tech questions, man he had some goofy ones! Always just in good fun though because it never hurts to ask.

    Damn, that really sucks. RIP FireFly, may all your oil drain bolts be torqued correctly.
