I conversed with Bob on the Greenspun forum, and later as moderator on this great place. We had one or more 'friendly-discussion' sessions about correctness on early CB750s. RIP and I'm sure we'll meet again ;)

You will be missed, Bob.  Rest in peace. 

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

I'm sorry to hear about Bob. I didn't know him personally but through this forum we discovered we were both at Mosport racetrack in the late 70's to see & hear a Honda RC166 do laps. Reading each others description of the sound of that bike brought us together. He's a Cool guy.
