The coolest guy ever on a motorcycle

You will be missed, brother. Rest in peace.

What a great loss.

Although I never got into his music, he did have a great influence on the music industry and other artist, so I have great respect for his work and talent. Many people don't know the number of songs he wrote for other artist that became hits on their own.

Not only one of the top 10 guitarists of all time but so musically adept.

Could play almost any instrument at the top level.

Yeah, a lot of people don't know he was a prolific songwriter. I've heard he's got a couple thousand songs written that he never released (I've heard Eddie Van Halen does, too.) A lot of people also don't know he was a multi-instrumentalist: he played guitar, bass, piano.......etc. And he was a much, much better guitarist than a lot of people thought.

Since this forum is supposed to be about motorcycles, Prince's primary motorcycle was a Honda CB400A.

Bottom pic: That's what a Honda CB400A looks like when it's not pimped out.

RIP  ...

Saw him perform on an Australian tour three years ago - his guitar solo and a song he did solo on a grand piano were the highlights. Brilliant musician and performer.
