“Nothing Gold Can Stay” RIP Johnny Chop

RIP Johnny Chop,  6 years gone, missed more every day by family, friends and fans. Johnny was a no BS straight up guy that could do all the work himself, from fabricating to wrenching, to body work, the guy was a craftsman and a visionary. More importantly he was a friend to many of us, and he is deeply missed every day. I leave you with this a poem by Robert Frost..

Nothing Gold Can Stay
Natures First Green is Gold
Her heart is hue to hold
her early leaves a flower,
but only so an hour
so leaves subside to leave
so eden sank to grief
so dawn goes down today
nothing gold can stay
