Hi Gang, Its hard to believe its been another whole year since I lost my best friend and only child in a tragic motorcycle accident. So this being the 3rd anniversary we are holding The 3rd Annual Jake Pearly Memorial Cruise this coming Saturday (3-13-2010) As MANY of you will remember last year I asked if you would take a moment while you were riding that weekend a just think about Jake and basically ride with us in his memory.

Well as you can see from that thread the response was incredible!!! People rode everywhere for Jake. Across the USA all the way around the world. My friends in The Netherlands made that beautiful video at a gorgeous cathedral. That was also the biggest get together of Gen 2 maxes that holds still to this date. I printed out the pages of the forums where everyone had posted about their ride for Jake and passed it out to the people here at our annual ride and there wasn't a dry eye in the area. Greg (Hangarnc) sent me the sticker that I wear on my helmet now that says " In Memory Of Jake Pearly 3/11" And then not too very long after that announced that he dedicated his latest classic racer to Jake. Dang he got me again with that. (me getting all soggy and leaky)

Anyways while I can still kinda see the keyboard... If you are out riding this weekend please think of Jake for a moment and it will be like we are all riding together. Thank you very Much.

I would be there if I lived 3000 miles closer . I know you`ll get a nice turn out .

Godspeed Jake

Steve, i hope I'm able to ride in Honour of your Son this Year. It didn't work out here last Year for several Reasons, but I'm willing to try again !

Steve, can't believe that it's been a year already. If i get out this weekend to ride i will keep Jake in my thought's brother..Hang in there! We ride as one!

Hi Steve,

We'll probably ride out on Sunday.
Of course we'll do that in memory of Jake.

Steve,
I'm on board. From 3000 miles away...

Thank you for the reminder. Jake will be with us as we ride to our special place this Saturday. His spirit lives.

Looks like I am ridin in the rain on Sat.

Rest in Peace, Jake.
