    Default Everyone who loved the 70's can you guess who this is ?

    OK everyone, I am NOT selling anything... here is your guessing game, lets see
    if you can identify one of my best friends.... just a hint he is world famous. Here he is on Easter at our BBQ party clowning around
    And on a poker run riding, or should I say standing by one of his motorcycles....
    OK all you out there who remember the 70's Who is this guy.... I may give hints if you need help
    Ride Safe

    I really don't know who he is. But he's not bad looking now.

    And Bob, I think you look fine! Of course, I don't know what you looked like before!

    Default That is MOTORHEAD SHERWOOD

    That my friends is Jim Sherwood one of the front men in the
    Mothers of Invention he is sitting in the front row next to Frank.
    After he and the band went on to other things Jim did lots of
    stuff including, being a member of Port Stockton Motorcycle Club
    "I have been a member for 32 years" he became the president for
    2 terms then went on to become President of AMA Dist. #36.
    That is just a few things but he did much more, he continued in music
    and motorcycling and lots of volunteer work. I will never be able to count all
    the miles we rode along side each other on poker runs, camp outs, or just
    riding. I had to say good by to my riding buddy on Christmas Day 2011

    Yes it is. That's why he has the Motorhead patch on his vest.

    RIP Jim

    How sad - I used to see Zappa and the Mothers almost every time they blew into Pittsburgh. Sounds like he was a great guy outside of his musical life....

    Default Motorhead

    Jim died on Christmas Day from melanoma first to his lungs then to his brain
    the thing he hated the worst was having to cut his hair off... all the years I
    knew him he had very long hair and on him it looked great.
    When Lynn His wife had his services all the members of the Mothers were
    there except for Frank and Jim they had a jam secession you would not believe
    even Franks mom was there. all the guys in the band grew up together and were
    and are life long friends....
    Now you know the rest of the story.... and oh yes he was always dogged with fans
    wanting a little piece of Jim if only a autograph, He usually gave more and never complained
    about it.
    That was my friend Jim
