I haven't logged into here for a long time.. but with such sadness I thought the best thing to do would be to let all of you guys know what happened.. Earlier last week Larry had an accident with one of his electric bikes.. he was in the hospital with tramatic brain injury.. his wife was updating everyone from his facebook page.. unfortunately he did not pull through and passed away today at 4:45pm.. I met Larry the first time during the Smokies Ruckus Rally in Townsend, TN.. He continued to keep in touch with me over the years and I would let him know about each and every ride and he made almost every one.. He rode with us last summer and fall and he even dropped by my shop on his way back up the Blue Ridge Parkway.. Larry will be missed..  i posted a thread on totalruckus to remember Larry.. with more photos and stories.. totalruckus.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=82156 |

Couldn't remember exactly when I first met Larry, so I looked it up last night. He had contacted me first in the Fall of 2006 with a PM here at Ruckus Central, then called me on the phone after I gave him my number. He missed the very first Spring Ruckus Rally in the Smokies, after planning to come. Later that year, I met up and rode with Him through Cades Cove, Smokies Park, Hwy 32 at Cosby, and the Gravel Roads out of Cataloochee. I also rode Bicycles with Him once in Cades Cove. I've known Larry for a while now, and always enjoyed talking "Old Bicycles, Scooters, Cars, and Motorcycles" with Him. I stayed on Him persistently about wearing more gear when He rode Everything He owned, as I do Others, but Adults are Adults, and free to make Their own decisions. I hope some of You here can attend the Tribute Ride for Larry next month at DOCKS in Townsend. There is a Thread with all of the info over on Total Ruckus in the "Dixie" section. As of right now, it looks like Mitzie and I can't make it because of work schedules, unless we just ride up on the PCX150s over the weekend. Again, Larry was a really nice Guy, and is missed in several "Wheel" Forums and among His Friends.....  |

There is a Larry Tribute Ride posted over on Total Ruckus for the First Weekend in August based out of Docks Motel in Townsend, Tennessee....Anyone planning to attend, keep in mind there is the SCCA "Chasing the Dragon" Hill Climb August 3rd and 4th on the Joyce Kilmer Road in the Nantahala National Forest at Robbinsville, NC ....might want to stay clear of that Area.....I would pass this on over there, but somehow my Account over there has been deactivated, and have had no luck getting an Administrator/Moderator to send me an E-mail Link to restore it.....

There is a Neat Video over on Total Ruckus in the "Larry Tribute Ride" Thread in the Dixie Section, courtesy of Scoot TV and BlueRidgeRuckus...Check It Out Folks... ....I still haven't received an E-mail Link to open my Account back up there (...also registered a new account and it said I would get an E-mail....no E-mail... ), so I guess I'm blocked over there after almost 7 years..... |

How this started: I changed my Avatar on Total Ruckus to my PCX150, and noticed my Profile still had my old E-mail address...I changed it to my new one (skuuter2010@live.com), clicked it, and my Account has been deactivated ever since.... ....opened a New Account, but never received an E-mail activation for it either... ....just need the original back..... .....Enjoyed the Video, and saw it on killboy too....Cool Stuff.....  |

We had a great time.. Margaret (larry's wife) and Andy (larry's son) drove all the way from Michigan with some of Larry's famous Hollenbeck hotdogs for us to grill up and enjoy at Docks.. On Saturday they followed us on Foothills Parkway down to Deals Gap to eat lunch with us..   Nope, still nothing.... Im not sure why it didnt work David.. I used your login info and it sent a password reset email.. I did it twice to make sure. |
