"NS86" - Dan Neilen has passed away

#1 Post by Straycat » Thu Jun 30, 2022 5:40 pm

Im so sorry to be the bearer of this news, but one of the long standing members here "NS86 " passed away recently.

Dan was very passionate about the 2 stroke motorcycle world and was very proud of his collection of bikes and parts. He had a great deal of respect for many members of this forum.

I had emailed him a few weeks ago and never heard back from him. His wife contacted me today to inform me of his passing.

Godspeed Dan

Man, I'm just gutted. NS86 Dan was one of the best members I've met on this site.

Just spent a couple of hours reading our past conversations and his many great posts. Definitely brought some tears.

Rest in peace, my 2-stroke brother. You will be remembered, and greatly missed.

Man, I hate it when a longtime member passes away - and we all lose that that knowledge and experience. RIP Dan, and where ever you are make sure you find a computer and visit us once in a while!! :smt006

Tom

I did apologize to everyone. All
I ask is for the following original members to be remember Wynn, Rick Lance and Ken smith. When I got my RZV500. Wynn would write from Okinawa with solid advice and parts.
I remember Ken smith telling me if you own an RZ500. You need an RG500 so you can see how an RZ500
Should have been done.
