    That's a shame... I learnt a lot from that list.

    I was always going to come back... It was only a matter of time before I found another XJ that I could afford... 4 Years to get settled in a new country is a long time, but things are finally on track and we are well settled

    Parkinson's :(
    He's retired from motorcycles, and hasn't posted here for a few years.

    Yes. All of his posts and how-to writeups are still here though.

    I contacted Rick off line but didn't get any replies. Hopefully he's doing well. My best wishes to him.

    Hey Alive, I hadn't been on the site for a good year and had the same question. I hit my 5 years this month, so I guess I kinda qualify.

    Although I was the newbie gleaning info from all the old timers back then, of course still am ;)

    RE: Rick... I remember when his wife posted a couple years ago with the update. That was hard to read. The info from Rick and Bigfitz have made the difference between me riding all the time, and kicking and cussing out a dead Maxim in the driveway.

    I still smile every time I throttle down and think about how effective Rick's clunk test/clean-up has been!
