In Memory of Longtime PITS Member Jim Winter
It is with sadness that we announce that longtime PITS member and friend to many, Jim Winter, passed away on April 21, 2023.
Below is the announcement from his friend Bob Mark:
​
Jim Winter completed his last event on Friday, April 21st. He completed an incredible ride, his feet having never left the pegs and smooth forward motion his entire run.
Celebrating his transition are his wife of 62 years, his daughter and 2 grandchildren, and one beautiful great grand daughter. He will be ensconced in a memorial in the High Country, created from his collection of 2000 lbs of vintage 70's and 80's Honda cranks, pistons, and engine casings.
No memorial service is planned, but I'm sure he'd appreciate any support you might give to a novice rider, as he did for so many of us.
Bob Mark
