jzanutto - say it aint so

#1 Post by kpke » Sun May 27, 2018 11:54 am

I was looking at Kawi2stokes.com deals gap photos shared by 73RD350rider and saw a sad tribute message there in the forum header.

I never met him but remember alot of his posts and his bikes.

A fellow Californian and 2 stroke enthusiast...RIP

A google search on Jan Zanutto will show his airtech'd RZ350, RG500, a Kaw triple, etc.

Very sad indeed. Same for me Ken, never met him but knew his name from several of the boards. His latest build won a top award at the recent 2 stroke Extravaganza which I believe was held a weekend or two before he died in the glider accident. RIP brother.....

I was shocked to hear this too. :smt009 I've been talking/ helping his son Eric a little bit over the last year with RZR 350 he has.
I know his family must be devastated about this.....RIP :smt010

I first met Jan at my house, when he brought me a bike.

My daily RZ350 (the Lamb) was Jan's bike.

He was a great guy to talk to and would talk as long as anyone about bikes. Smart guy with a great sense of humor.

You will be missed and remembered, my friend. I will ride and take care of your bike with pride.

Rest in peace, brother.
