I haven't been on the site in a long time, as I sold my VX in late 2007 (and for those of you contemplating doing this, I can tell you that you will regret it for A LONG TIME!). I saw this post when it first happenned, and was speechless. I started several times to post, but didn't. I didn't know him personally like a lot of you did, but from what I did know of him - he was a hell of a guy! I know that he ruffled some feathers here - but you know, sometimes feathers need to be ruffled! I never saw him say something that wasn't true - he was just passionate about what he said and how he said it - some people here were offended by that - I, for one, appreciated his honesty, and his propensity to "tell it like it was". I bought a couple of his VX products, and he was very responsive to the questions I had - very professional, and very knowledgeable as well. People like Tone are few and far between, he will be missed not only by those who knew him well, but also by those - like me - who wish they would have had the opportunity to know him better. Tone - I hope that in heaven they have VX's in your favorite color (black - which IS the fastest), and a jump track to drive it on!
