RIP Jim Lindemann

According to Ed Sorbo's Facebook page, Jim Lindemann has passed. I've known Jim since 1990. During that time he had done suspension work on my racebikes, streetbikes, & the bikes of so many customers & friends of mine.
Jim was one of the nicest, most knowledgeable guys you could ever meet at the racetrack or anywhere else in the world. A straight shooter, he knew how to make things work. The fastest lap i ever turned was with Jim's set up under me.
Back in the spring,i needed a Ducati 851 shock freshened up so i called Jim's place & learned that Jim's illness had caused him to have a much more difficult time both working as well as getting to work. I had actually called as they were still working but preparing to make the move out of Campbell to Sorbo's place. I was fortunate to speak to Jim for about 10 minutes that day & he was very forthcoming with what was going on with him & the difficulties he was having. That was the last time i spoke to him & just a few days ago, i connected with him on Facebook.
Even though he was ill, his passing still comes as a shock, as i simply did not know the severity of his condition. I'm sure Ed will be along soon to clarify what he can.
Jim was a great man. So very sad to hear of his passing. My thoughts are with his family.
R.I.P. Jim.

I've heard a lot of great things about him. Bummer.

Sad news....RIP

 

Another in our sport I never met. I've seen many LE stickers on forks. RIP.

 

Spoke with him by phone a couple years ago. He was incredibly generous with his time to someone he didn't know.
RIP.

 

Thank you, Jim. I wish we had met in person. RIP.

 

So sad to see that another giant of the old guard has passed. RIP, Jim.

 

RIP Jim...

 

RIP Jim...

I obviously did not know him, but have seen a fair number of LE stickers on racebikes. RRW had a wonderful article about him a while back.. His battle with cancer and continuing to work on suspensions while basically blind told me alot about him as a person. Wow, what a loss.

 

May God be with his family may he RIP

 

Godspeed Jim.

I'll cherish my old forks with the LE sticker on them a little more. The best days I ever had on a track were on those forks.

 

Very sad, RIP.

 

Godspeed and thank you for your contributions to the sport

 

Godspeed

 

Tragic! A man that spent his life making things better. A very nice man will be missed. Ed will keep what he started alive. RIP !

 

So passes another Dinosaur.Hard shoes to fill.Bummer.

 

RIP, bless him and his family!
