Thanks Thad for the info, Yahoo-Boy is in a better place and
his family has my condolences.

Above was me.

Very sad news, indeed. Life hangs by such a slender thread.

I liked his tag-line.

"If you can't say something nice... "

It's strange to think that a common interest in a certain motorcycle can provide the basis to communicate something essential about oursleves, even though most of us may never "meet" in the flesh and blood sense. I certainly had a sense of Yahoo-Boy and was shocked to read the news. We are diminished. My thoughts are with his grieving loved ones.

This is sad news. I enjoyed his posts very much as well and his enthusiasm for his R.

I was transfixed in front the computer this morning as I was reading this sad news. I had this overwhelming feeling of guilt!!! Eventhough I never replied to his posts, I was wishing him good luck with fixing his bike and keep it. Everyone, whether s/he talked to him or not, obviously wanted him to get over his frustrations and ENJOY LIFE!!
I am realy hoping it was not a motorcycle crash. But, if it was, I can't help, but think that there were signs telling him to get rid of the bike. Maybe he shouldn't have forced things too much.

Condolences to his family.
and Ride safely everyone!

Our condolences from "over the pond" to his nearest and dearest.

Scott Tompson: God speed.

Jesus, that's so sad... Only recently I began to wonder when we'd experience something like this on this site again...Too damn soon. RIP, Yahoo-Boy!

Motorcyclist die everyday but when it is one of our own "family" on the board it is hard to hear. My thoughts go out to his family. RIP.

"Some of us ride headlong toward unknown horizons that we will never be able to crest because of our earthly circumstance; but when the time is right, the lucky few will be lifted to a place to see the beauty of it all!" Anon.

Yahoo-Boy has made it over the last horizon, to view the ultimate vista....

God speed Yahoo-Boy

My condolences to Scott's family and friends

Gonna miss his spunk. Rest in Peace Yahoo-Boy!

Bad and sad news. I admired his fire dealing with the trouble he had with his bike...

My condolences to the Thompson family. Godspeed Scott, you will be missed by many whom you have never met face to face, but have touched the lives of all of us here.

Funny how someone you have never even met feels like family when you hear they are gone. What a small world this has become thanks to the web. I suspect it will be days before this lump in my stomache receeds. Ride on Scott, we will miss you.

His life is over. It makes us see that life is truely fleeting, and can end at anytime. Although I didn't know him apart form the board, he is a brother that will be missed.

A tragic time for his family. My heart goes out to them.

Yahoo-boy's troubles are no more, he's gone to that big rider's rally beyond. He's with Indian Larry, and Steve McQueen, talking bikes and the love of the Road. Fare well, we knew you when...

but that is never what one wants to hear about a fellow board member. Never had anything to offer in his posts with his dealer and bike issues, but boy he had no problem expressing himself!! That is becoming an increasingly rare quality these days and it shall be missed from this forum.

My thoughts to him and his family. Next long ride is dedicated to you Scott!!

Sad news indeed.

Scott, here's hoping you rest in peace. You were a stranger to me, and yet... a brother.

Any more details? Anything we can do?
