Sad News

I belong to the Facebook group China Bikes North America. Some members here are members there as well. I friended some of the members, and today, one member's friends started posting obituary-like postings. At first, I thought it was in regards to one of his family members, but then I realized it was him! I know the China Bike N.A. member has passed away, and lived in Bismark, ND, and his last name is Hertz, so I feel confident to state, sadly, that I am almost certain it is member 'hertz9753'. No mention of cause of death. Remember him in your prayers.

My condolences to his family and friends. I wondered where he'd been. I was hoping for a happy return.

Man oh man

We all chatted a bunch with him last winter talking about all the snow fall and his dog Molly I believe.

I believe this may be the gentlemen we knew as hertz.

Rest easy Hertz!

Fair winds and following seas. Rest easy my friend.

So sad. He had a Chocolate Lab as his avatar, which looks a lot like my dog. Hertz posted some very funny vids, along with entire movies about dirt bike riding. You can review the threads he started here: http://www.chinariders.net/search.php?searchid=921325

I wish him a safe journey......

Oh man....this really sucks. Hertz was a funny and positive participant to our little world here. He and his dog, trudging through the snow will be sorely missed.
