JIM ERICKSON
Jim was a member of the Zebras Motorcycle Club and the first rider to be memorialized at the Husky Memorial site. The site was in fact established by the Zebras for Jim...
"Jim Ericson, a good friend of mine, was almost impossible to beat on a fire road. Jerickson was one of his nicknames. We would all meet at the Riverside Ice House on Sunday mornings and go fire roading up Bee canyon to Idylwild, have lunch and ride back. The Lamar boys and Gormo the pinstriper in Riverside, drilled holes in all the parts of the bike, so no one would steal parts from the monument. This bike was put there when there were still many 390 Huskys being ridden. Many other memorials have been put in the same area, including a memorial for my good friend Jimmy Lewis who was the MSR Sales Manager for the full time I owned MSR. All the other monuments there are for die hard motorcycle enthusiasts. I hope to be honored there, BUT at a much later time!"
