It appears as if Micheal passed away today from throat cancer and related complications. Mark Miller shared such on facebook and there is now a tribute on Micheal's page. Very sad. He was one of the greats like Buell and Britten. | ||

DAMMIT man! I generally blow through any given MC magazine extremely quickly, as I read very fast and don't always see much of anything very interesting... and then I read of MotoCzysz, a few years ago. SO many of his ideas and patents were simply incredible, and demonstrably functional, usually superior to the conventional setups. I'm seriously bummed to hear of his passing. He certainly should be remembered just as John Britten, a shooting star of a motorcycle designer and engineer. My dream team core of a MC company would have included Czsyz, Buell, Gurney, Askenazi... Godspeed, sir. | ||

http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/michael-czysz -obituary/ A good read. We were just discussing him on one of the other threads here, too.  He was also a fellow BadWebber, and it always sucks to lose one of our own. | ||

I imagine he influenced others and they will hopefully carry on with his work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzAYoUqYLDU (Message edited by figorvonbuellingham on May 08, 2016) | ||

 And, a good poet to boot. Let's live our lives seeking out brilliance such as his. It's a rare thing, like a leprechaun, but I chase the same gold. |
