    Whatever happened to Steve and others?

    I did some forum reading tonight. Apparently I can't remember how to do a member search or its not working. After some hunting around apparently Steve from Ohio has gone AWOL. Cowboy defended him admirably and then when it got hot he went AWOL, on the thread anyway. How does one exactly lose eyes on Steve, a pretty regular GSR'er? I guess story to be continued....

    Next I was searching for old Cliff. His site is BikeCliff but his forum name was Basscliff I believe as he was a guitar player if memory serves. Just wondering whatever happened with him. Is he active?

    Next there was a guy in Colorado, I think TKent or something close to that. He was doing 550/650 mods. Was wondering what became of it? Is he active?

    Any other notables gone MIA that I am missing?

        Cliff is still around and good. I am friends with him on Facebook.
        Pretty sure he still rides, but it seems music has become his main hobby.
        Actually, hobby is not the right word. The band he belongs to, his very good.

            Can't speak for anyone else but in my case it can be summed up with one word: Miasma.

              How about the photography guy from Colorado? Haven't seen any of his beautiful nature shots in quite a while.

                I've only noticed Steve not hanging out as much. For whatever reason...which Cowboy & Norm may know, he is not taking any messages.

                    I am still here just busy with stuff in my shop and work. I do talk to Steve regularly and he is fine for the most part just very busy with the house remodeling and other things (he is fixing an issue for me right now after my youngest daughter made the Bandit take a nap a couple of weeks ago).

                      Tkent02 (Tom) was a prolific poster. Highly engaged in various projects, mostly 550/650 related, as mentioned. I miss his wit.

                      Cliff was like a shooting star through the GSR universe! Such a great guy. Last I remember he pulled the top end off his bike to fix a leak. Just guessing, but I suspect his 850 is still sitting under some blankets in his garage, waiting to be put back together.

                        Dorkburger brought his name up recently. But I always liked that "Steel Toe Tank" fellow. He was a character.

                          I miss a certain crazy military contractor who spent a long time in Dubai, etc., and who was probably the most irreverent poster ever.

                            I recognize them all. Over the years, many have left, but I think the majority left for reasons unrelated to anything happening on the GSR. In Steve's case, if there was something that happened here, I missed it. More likely, life got hold of him and he is otherwise over occupied. In Colorado CJ's case, photography is/was his primary interest, along with camping and drone racing. He had a massive photo site of his work and I expect still does.
