R.I.P Len3.8

Len was truly a class act.

I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person, but his posts demostrated his quality as a human being and we are all diminished by his absence.
 
at least Len died doing what he loved....

R.I.P. Len3.8
 
I am truly shocked and saddened. Len was one of my Sunday night chat buddies and we spent hours yakking it up and having fun online. I will deeply miss him. My condolences go out to his family. I can't begin to imagine your pain but my prayers are with you.

Jimbo brought up a very good point....

This type (left hand turn in front of) of accident is the most common cause of fatalities on a motorcycle. People are so tuned to seeing cars that a motorcycle seems not to register in their minds.

Certain aspects of motorcycle culture doesn't help the situation. When I took the MSF class, which partly was held in a local Harley dealer, visibility and "being seen" was something that was stressed over and over.

The dreaded "left hand turn" of another vehicle in front of a bike is an all too common occurence. Hopefully my advice will help the other members of Prime who ride motorcycles. INSTALL A HEADLIGHT MODULATOR. These relatively inexpensive devices flash your high beam like a stobe during daylight hours increasing the visibility of your bike 300% to 500%. The human eye is naturally drawn to movement and they DO make a HUGE difference. Whenever I get a new bike this is the first mod that goes on, and it goes on immediately along with a brake light modulator. I even a brake light modulator that flashes the LED brake light bar on the wing of my NSX. A simple Google search will point you in the right direction. Losing Len was a tragedy. PLEASE keep yourselves safe out there.

Godspeed Len, I know you're keeping an eye on us from up above.

A VERY sad Hugh.
 
This is very sad news.. Len was such a great guy and I am so happy I was lucky enough to know him and spend some good times together at NSX events.. My prayers go out to his family, this is a tragic loss for anyone who knew Len..On a good note though, I am glad to know that we all have a great person like that up there protecting all of us now, Len will make a great Angel...Len, RIP buddy...you will always be in our thoughts!
 
This is so sad…I am at a loss for words. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. While I never met Len I enjoyed reading his posts. He will be greatly missed here on Prime. :frown:
 
Rest in Peace Len. He was a really nice guy, and the first person i met in person in the NSX community. It's really really sad and shocking to see him gone now.
 
When ever works gets bad I start surfing here. I first thought len's 3.8 motor had blown or smn. Then I realized that the man was!

So sad! I have met just one other person from this forum but I seem to have mental images of many of those whose posts I keep reading. So sad about the all too common left hand turn accident. I gave up motor cycle riding after realizing I didn't want to leave my life in the hands of distracted cagers. What a tragedy!

I think I will go out and give my friends huge hugs today to celebrate them in this all too short life.

R.I.P. Len.
 
I was very sad to hear the news of Len's passing. I have not been a member of the NSX community for some time, but I had the pleasure of spending a couple of track days with Len at Gateway. I also has not been logged on for a while, and was surprised to find a message from him waiting today. My thoughts are with his family and friends. He will be missed.
 
I'm sending out a condolence card to the funeral home tomorrow. I hope it makes it there in time.
I'm still shook up over this whole thing. Couldn't stop thinking about it all day today. I feel like I lost a friend.
I have been sooooooo close to buying myself a bike and keep shying away from it. This is just another reason to stay on 4 wheels for me.
 
I have only known Len for a short time - GREAT human being. Just as Kelley stated, I was immediately treated like family. My condolences to all who are hurting right now. Rest in Peace Len, you are truly one of a kind.
 
my deepest sympathy toward his family. although i have not meet him in person but enjoy reading a lot of his posts. such a great lost to the nsx community.
RIP Len.

reading all of the above testiments of len, it only further confirms the mark and impression he's left with his friends, family, and community here on prime and other places. its easy to see and tell without meeting len, that he's a class act and someone who we can model ourselves after in hopes that we can one day leave such an impact/impression in our lives... rest in peace...
 
Have not posted in a while, but it is very sad to see this. Len was always one of my favorite posters, he was a staple of NSXPrime, the site will never be the same. I always wish God's plan was easier to understand.

PS - Don't forget to tell someone you REALLY Love them today!
 
My last interaction with len was not a good one and we got in a senseless argument here on prime many months ago. I'm saddened that this was our last conversation and i'm sorry it was on those terms.

My condolences go to Len's family and friends. :(
 
Wow. May he rest in peace...

about a month ago my good friend Parees Crashed his e46 m3 into a wall and imediatly passed away. Its hard to loose someone so close to you in a way like this, but God has his plan for everyone...
 
My thoughts and prayers to Len, his family and friends.

RIP Len. I only knew him through NSX Prime, but through the PM's and other posts of his on the forum he seemed like a really nice and down to earth guy. Sorry to hear of his passing.
