I can understand if Justus isnt interested in selling it or passing it along to another member.
His dad started it and maybe he feels it should end with his passing.
Yes, it would of been nicer to notify us of any decision before it went down.
But in the end, it has to be Justus' decision.
I wrote the following (below) on my laptop at around 8-9 a.m. ....and then got a phone call from a buddy that my surf break was pumping with a new swell, with double overhead sets.....so I loaded up my gear and jetted out the door with this tab still open. My exact word's (echo-ing El Gato) on what a "major bummer" it would be, if everything is lost forever.
^ Perfectly stated, Nostimos!
On a more positive note:
It took me just shy of a year, to finally find my grail on the JD (my very 1st bali), a BM 42 Ti Springer that I purchased from
silkworm
(Sean) and it was from that point on, that I became a bali addict!
Man we sure had a lot of fun times over there....for me especially, in the Voodoo room, back in the day when the the rough and tough Bali crew/Ratspuph ran the show.... And Ron gave everyone over there a long leash to have some fun.....
And who could ever forget Timmay..... and the tough toxic masculine tough love that his mentor J Rotten would dish out.
Or when Joe Dirt arrived on the scene from New Mexico..... Hilarious!
And let's not forget Charlie Mike- May he rest in eternal peace...back when he was really into the bali scene....along with his quirky fun sense of humor/persona which fit in so perfectly on the JD.
I can remember the time back when you (Nostimos) busted my balls, for sending my BNIB Arc Angel D/E up to Matt Cook
Pinoy Knife
and having him give it one of his Spa treatments. I think I sent at least a half dozen of my Bali's up his way...
To this day, the ano job he did on that AA Dagger, was the sickest I've ever seen- it was Cobalt Blue, with splashes of purple and pink.
^^^ In closing: If all of this JD history is now just gone, erased in a poof, what a major bummer that would be.
Could people here on BF's even begin to imagine, what it would be like if one morning this place just went dark forever....and all of the years of internet history involving all of it's loyal member's, suddenly disappeared forever?
