RIP Doc_V Lance Hansford

[Jaybo]

I remember him coming right back worried about the check engine light that just won't go away.

[Chromepony]

That really sucks.

DITTO !!

perhaps it was covid, thank god most of us got passed that. we are like a functional family that rarely if ever meets, except to meld ideas. sounds strange to grieve the loss of a person one has never met face to face; but thats the human condition.

[MikeyC]

Awww. Shocked and sad to hear this. He will be missed

[Tykes_Place]

I can’t find any details. None if the obits mention a cause.

[Tykes_Place]

I remember him riding away with a big smile after sitting on the porch while everyone else was riding.

[brianmac]

yes it sux, he was breath of fresh air ,

[Jaybo]

Damn. At Spray I made him take my bike out for a ride since he did not get much riding in. Cool guy, and he went way too young. RIP Brother.

[Lug Nut]

Will definitely miss his posts....
do we know what happened exactly? We were the same age ...

[D-Fresh]

What a bummer, I always looked forward to his posts - always on some adventure (mechanical or otherwise) with his RS. As Duke said, i always thought we'd hear something from him when he left the forum. As Shores said, just assumed the Kawi forum was his new hangout. 53 is much too young - RIP Lance, you will be missed.

Very Sad news Condolences to his Family

[Ironman]

Sad indeed. Like so many others, I appreciated his contributions here, but he was kind and generous to me through some PM interaction. When he didn't respond back a few months ago I didn't take it personally, but now it all makes sense.

[GreenMachine]

I never met Lance in person, but he left a lasting impression with some very kind words via PMs. Just goes to show you never know when your kindness is meaningful to others. Rest in peace, my friend; you will be missed.

Sad news for sure also a bit shocking. i met him at Spray MnG also and remember his story he told of his mom and picking up found pennies. Also I helped hammer out the bent rear axle on that red RS. He did tinker a lot with different things, such as mufflers etc. I won't forget him.

[Flashback]

RIP Brother

[Engineman]

Yup remember him well on here. Loved to read his comments on here. Rest in piece.

I met Lance and rode with him and others from this forum to the Hollister,Ca. bike raley.Sorry to hear of his passing.

[Ahodge75]

This really sucks……I met only once….I was able to make the Starfest in Spray, he decided to ride home down the coast on hwy 101. We met up and had a morning ride then grabbed lunch together. We talked about all things Roadstar and other things. We shared stories, laughed complained about tow truck drivers…lol….he will be surely missed.

here’s hoping he is up there riding….……RIP Lance…..

[Father Pobasturd]

That really sucks.

[Duke]

I am so very sorry to hear this. I have really missed him on this forum as he has brought us a lot of information and inspirations on our bikes.
I am truly grateful for getting to meet him in Spray, Oregon, and I felt sorry for him when his tire went flat and the tow truck messed his bike up. I wondered what happened with him because I didn’t think he would leave this forum without saying something to us. I do miss him and very much hope that we will get together again on the the other side. I miss you brother.
My sincere condolences to his family and his friends.
