My original plan was to write about being a rider in the Atlanta metro area and the plusses and minuses of that. I am still going to write that article, but today I wanted to briefly talk about a friend of mine who recently passed away due to a motorcycle accident.

Gavin “GreenCheezeEta” Butts was an amazing guy. He was a great rider, a great motorcycle builder, and a great friend. I will sorely miss him and wish his wife, children, and the rest of his family my deepest condolences.

This is a video Gavin had put together. This was the first introduction I had to him. He had some amazing skills.
