2talltim Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 It's with a heavy heart that I tell you all the news that we lost one of our own. @Howabusa Kent Howard (Robert K. Howard) Kent passed away at his home on Sept 12,2025 of an unknown illness. Many of us have ridden with Kent on his old Hyabusa and more recently on his FJR. Spent many a night at deal's gap with him and chasing each other around the Appalachian Mountains. His passing was very unexpected and shared with me by his widow Connie. There was no services and has been laid to rest next to his father. Just a few weeks before his passing he did get one last trip to Deals Gap and got one last lick at those mountains and slayed the dragon for old times sake. And I'm sure he wanted you all to know his FJR hit 124,000miles during that trip.. 😂..an inside joke his good friends will get. Ride on my old friend you will be missed. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 Just now, Pauly said: Anybody been in contact with Connie? Does she need anything? Tim has. She posted today on Kent’s FB about it. First we all heard. She’s sold his bikes and Jeep. She’s looking to donate/give away his riding gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
