v50man Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I don't know why, but his passing has really resonated with me. I'm hurt, and I never so much as emailed the guy. Young, passionate people should not die when they are so. But they do -- and that, I suppose, is that. Hopefully, he's gone to a better life.

Orson Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 wow I just checked out his modifications...here and his bike problems. Looks like a true labor of love in spite of all the problems (3 pawl springs ) A true Guzzi lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Barrett Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 On one hand I think it would be a nice gesture. He certainly had done more to his Guzzi than most: X-Gen cans high level rear pipes Stucchi x-over K&N pods (no airbox - now I can actually adjust my rear suspension !!) PC III usb RT billet levers and master cyclinders Rizoma billet reservoirs Billet footbrake lever Gorgeous irridescent green paint job (under 5 layers of dark laquer) techno footpegs front & rear sawn-off rear mud guard Bodged mini-cam + digi-recorder wiring into the loom Those high level exhaust I think are unique on this forum. On the other hand there may be friends or family who may blame his motorcyle or his love of motorcycling, but there again they might again take some comfort that it was doing something that he loved. Overall I'd second the recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slug Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I didn't know him either, but a truly dedicated Guzzisti. I'll third the motion and raise a glass for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todd haven Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 A fitting tribute, in my opinion. A good friend died in an accident on his Cafe Sport well over a year ago. A neurosurgeon. A 16 year old girl turned in front of him. A real kick in the gut. Not-so-young, but plenty passionate, I like to think Dr. Tony is still riding. And still stopping at all the best cafes throughout the South for a cup o' joe, and a piece of pie. Godspeed, Christian. Never knew you, wish I had. Say hi to Tony for me( he's the fast guy with the big grin and the smelly pipe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Yesterday evening I thought of exactly the same. But I'll first contact his friend to ask for his opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBenGuzzi Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Yesterday evening I thought of exactly the same. But I'll first contact his friend to ask for his opinion. 87237[/snapback] asking is a nice courtesy, but if you can't get ahold of him I think it should still happen, would be a nice tribute.

Anthro Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I just loved his bike. In my opinion he was going to have the 'Bike of the Month" anyways. It would be a very deserving gesture. I am glad Chunk approves. Anthro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
