RIP - Violione - Jay Bulger
It is with a very heavy heart that I have to say that my friend and riding buddy Jay passed away this morning. Jay was one of my first riding friends when I got my '07. I have many memories of riding with him and Scoops and their two girls. Jay and I used to camp all the time. My first group included Jay, Heidi, Ingo, George, and Spanky. I will add to this post many of the pictures I have of Jay and our travels.

Re: RIP - Violione - Jay Bulger
Sorry to see this post. I forget whether I met him at a West Virginia Ramble in 2006 or a campout at BRMC in 2010, but he was definitely part of the gang/crew back then.
Though this news is sad, thank you for letting us know and sharing photos of good times.

I knew Jay and rode with him at several gatherings. He was a nice guy and a good, safe rider. Sorry to hear of his demise.
