Please raise a glass, sad news…

#1 Post by Shebee » Thu Dec 21, 2023 8:15 pm

Dear Raptor Chapter and other assorted reprobates.

I am sorry to have to tell you that Jan Snapdragon passed away at home last night. Laurie (TOM) rang me this afternoon and asked me to tell anyone who knew her.

She was active on this site and there may still be some who remember her.

I have known her for 20+ years and am struggling with the thought that no more miles will be added to the over 100,000 she did on her Raptor and that there will be no more shared laughter… Love you and miss you Snappy.. Ride Free xxx

Very sorry to hear that _ I'll pass the news on via the forums I'm a member of. There's never a good time to lose an old and dear friend, but Christmas must be one of the worst.

Raising a glass and sending love and support to those left behind x
Remember, when you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It is only painful for others.
The same applies when you are stupid.

Well, that sucks. My condolences to those she left behind.
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.
