My friend passed away last week. Red as we all called him was a big man, tall and strong. A man of tremendous physical strength and even stronger character. He had a great sense of humor, humility and kindness. He loved all things motorcycle, riding, building, restoring or just listening to old race stories. When I first started to learn to ride I could never understand how someone could ride an old BSA so fast over rough ground. Desert, Rough Scrambles, Enduro it didn't matter Red hammered his old four strokes to the front long before four strokes were cool. I'll miss the big guy.
