Just read in a post on his Facebook page that he passed away. No idea currently as to what the cause was. And funeral arrangements have not been figured out at the current moment... That's a big loss to everyone who knew him. Family, friends, and the Buell/EBR family as a whole. | ||

Read about him many times and had the good fortune to meet him once. Good man. R.I.P. | ||

Ignorant one here; I do not know of Henry Duga. | ||

Henry was one of Eriks 1st employees when they first went into business and handled the racing end of Buell | ||

Sorry to hear this. Nice man, very knowledgeable and courteous. Met him at Laguna Seca after I was just getting used to my 1125R. R.I.P. Henry. | ||

Weird how seldom I check this section on BWB. Of all the random times, I check today. I've met and spoken with Henry many times at various Buell events. He was always a fountain of knowledge. Pegs down for Henry! | ||

Thanks for all Henry, the Buell Racing Community and I owe you a lot. R.I.P Henry | ||

Henry was Erik's first employee. He was THE MAN to many of us who raced and he was just a genuinely nice guy. I had hoped to take him out to dinner on my next trip to WI after I run my last race in 2 weeks (sigh... ) Maybe it's a sign that racing for me has run its course when I now have names of a half dozen fellow racers and old friends who are no longer with us.  | ||

He was very kind to me. It'll be a cold ride in the morning with the pegs down. | ||

A sad day indeed! Mr Duga was no stranger to Hal's H-D. I had to pleasure of several lengthy conversations with him both at the track and at the dealership. Many people don't know that Henry had as big a passion for go-cart racing as he did for motorcycles. I know that he's hanging around that big oval in the sky. Thanks for everything Henry. Bud C | ||

I met Mr. Duga only once and he made a big impression on me. I can be there. |
