He used screen names like BoosterBruiser and BB. He is known here as AKA BB.

From tf:

We lost Kevin Hill yesterday in a single vehicle motorcycle crash.

From Kevin's FB page:
"I was asked to post this by a good family friend. I was there with Kevin when he passed and was riding right behind him when the accident occurred.

Just so we all have closure as I'm sure some are wondering what happened, Kevin was going through the lake mead run. We were about 8 miles past the entrance gate and we got stuck behind some harleys. Ahead of them was a truck towing a boat for reference. The harleys moved over for us to pass and we stayed on the same side of the road. The road was relatively straight. Out of nowhere, his handlebars began to violently shake. About as bad as they could on a motorcycle. He took his hands off the bars to let the bike correct and it did but by the time the bars straightened out he ran out of road. He hit dirt and began to flip. We weren't really going that fast and I'm still bewildered by how this happened but I suspect a mechanical error as we didn't hit anything and there were no obstructions. "

That is sad to hear. We are somehow prepared when an older, sickly person dies but when it is a young one taken suddenly we pause.

Moment of silence...


Sorry to hear this. I know he did a lot to serve our country & I'm sure he'll be missed by all that knew him well.

I have some pics of one of his visits to the Fleming Garage in Tucson. I will dig them out and post.

Pics of the most recent time Kevin stopped by Tucson on the way to Vegas showing me some of his current collections of parts for the SVO project.

RIP bro!
