Curt Johnson a neighbor, a friend, and the best riding partner I ever rode with. We have seen damn near all of Florida and been across country twice. Traveling mostly in and out of the rain and on back country roads that Curt loved. The back roads were always preplanned for the ride. He will truly be missed by all of his riding friends. I will truly miss him. Until next time old friend…we will ride again!

Curt and Bertie were great riding buddies with our group in Fl. Gary says it was a joy to be around them. Missed the rides he couldn’t make and we both looked forward to the dinners and parties. Blessings to his family. Sure like to think he is riding with the wind and pain free. Gary and Jenny Adkins
