JCM 10,734 #1 Posted 9 hours ago I have been wanting to mention that one of my riding buddies passed on June 21. 2024 at the age of 88. Unfortunately he was on one of his many motorcycles when he was hit by a car by someone in the same age bracket from what i can gather. Went into Hospice and passed shortly after. Don was very well known in all areas of Motorcycles and was not going to give that up. I thank him for what I learned from him and miss him dearly. For info check out on Legacy.Com Donald Murray Burnett at Campbell Funeral Home Beverly Mass. I have a thread on here under the same title I believe. Thanks Guys 1 3 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOTH LEGENDS. @eo1bart And trail rides through New Hampshire and Maine with them. By the way , nice bikes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
