I don't even know what to say right now....this is really sad. I just bought something from Raul, and he was so nice about everything....shipping it to Canada from Spain. He asked me to tell him when I got it. I got it last week and sent him a message thanking him. I hope he read it.

My thoughts go out to his family.

Un abrazo muy fuerte mi amigo.

Raul passed away on May 26th mate, so sadly he wouldn't have received your email. Cheers, Terry.
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I did as well, and we swapped several PMs recently. Raul spent nearly 40 days in the hospital, then came home for a couple weeks. Raul leaves his wife and two children, ages 10 and 12.

His brother Jorge assisted with the sale and shipping of his CB750K1 parts manual. I am so happy to have it, it is a reminder to me of my first job 48 years ago at the Honda parts counter, and also a reminder of Raul and others here at SOHC4 who have helped me with my CB.

He was in good spirits at all times and considerate enough to invite us share a toast after his passing.
