I am so shocked and saddened by this – I just can’t believe it. Jim was a great friend to me and was always there whenever I needed him to be. I loved him and will miss him terribly.

Jim ran a unique business. One where you wanted to come and just be among friends. A place where you ended up when the ride was over. A place that you found an excuse to go by even though you did not need anything (but bought something just because). It was a place that was different; one where people with passion gathered to share those feelings.
I will miss him greatly.
To Jim’s close friends and co-workers, I wish you peace and comfort.
We will miss him very much. This has been a very hard time for Stafford as he was so close to Jim. Please let us know if we can help in anyway with the shop or business or anything. We will be so happy to do so. We loved him as our friend and have many great memories to hold on to.
Our hearts and prayers are with you Diane. God help you to get well soon. With our Love, Beverly,Stafford 628-4225
We recently found out about Jim’s passing and like everyone else, Lisa and I were totally shocked.
Jim was very helpful to us in the purchase of our two motorcycles and was a pleasure to do business with.
You don’t run into many people anymore who are knowledgeable of their product. Jim always kept me up to date whether I was looking to purchase or just browsing. We will miss him. To Diane,Steve,Mars,Todd and the crew that we have yet to meet,Please let us know if we can help in any way.The peace of God be with you All.
Diane, Gary, Jason & Nicole:
There are no words that can express how we feel about the loss of Jim. This year has not been good to either of our families and we know what you are going through. Jim was good to us and I regret I didn’t get to fix him that steak at the lake. He will be missed by a lot of people and the void he left in your heart will never be filled. Just remember we will always be there for you.
We love you guys,
Mike & Trish

I am so sorry for your loss. What sad news to hear about Jim. He truly was a wonderful person. I was gone from Asheville for the past ten years, but never forgot how kind Jim was to me. My sympathy and love goes out to all of Jim’s family and friends who will miss him dearly. Fondly, Patty Nakielski(Neamand)
Diane,
We were very sorry to hear of your loss. We want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. If there is any thing that we can do for you and your family please let us know.
Our deepest sympathy,
The Ayers family
My dear sweet friend you were always in my thoughts and will be missed. We hadn’t seen each other in years; then the last time I was home for some reason I had to see you. On my way to the airport we stopped by but you hadn’t opened for the day. Went & had breakfast-you still weren’t open. Made a couple of more stops and then for some reason just had to circle back one more time. I’m so thankful I did. I will always be grateful for that brief time we had that morning. Suddenly the years had slipped away and we were(19 & 21 again) chatting & gossiping just like old.
My condolences to Diane & her family. Jim will be missed by everyone whose life he touched.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
To Jim’s family and co-workers,
I have just heard about Jim and I am sorry for your loss. I’ve been in and out of the shop for many years after buying my first bike, and it was always a pleasure to see Jim and visit. I still remember when the showroom was up front in the old house. He’ll be missed.
My deepest sympathy for the family’s loss. Jim was a wonderful human being with a true love of life. He will be missed by many of us to whom he introduced the joy of the motorcycle.
Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are so sorry in the loss of your brother.
God bless you,
Tommy and Jessie
