Michael Andrew Leskar

Dear Leskar Family & Cal, I knew Mike, Cal Tina & Mike Jr when they first moved to California. Minnesota Mike what a great character & wonderful guy he was. He & Cal were close friends we had many adventures on the Harley´s, & at their home when they lived on Olive St right around the corner from where I grew up on Boyd St. They bought my ex husband Peter Ehlert & my house on Mark West Station Rd when we divorced. And I lost touch with both he & Cal. I hold so many memories of our times...

I bought the first Sportster sold from Michael's then work there for 7 yrs. I miss Mike, we were great friends. Darlene

Hi,

I am a long long time friend of Mike's. His Iron Range nickname was Shmock. I knew him in high school and met him at his father's garage in Gilbert. I was with him when he bought his first Pan Head, a 57 - 74 cu in basket case which he quickly rebuilt into a fine dresser. Mike directed me in spring of '68 to my first Harley, '64 full dresser from Edgbergs (long gone) in Mpls. MIke hauled, it to the Iron Range for me. He was a wonderful friend, had a great sense of humor...

To All Our Friends in the Leskar Family,
They say you are not gone, until you are forgotten...There's no chance that we will ever forget the genuine uniqaueness of Michael Leskar and all the contributions he made to motorcycling.
We partyed hard together, as Dealers, for a couple of years...we'll never forget the tie-cutting antics at the 1990 Christmas Party!!!!
May he now find Peace.
Fondly,
Thom & Honore McIlhattan

My condolences to Jimmy and the Leskar family. Mike along with Jimmy was the influence on me at a young age to start riding motorcycles,and I"m still doing it. I still remember those summers as a kid riding around the salvage yard on that scoot and his big red Harley.

I knew when we met he was one of kind.Working with him was an opportunity I will cherish forever.After all these years of being part of the Motorcycling Industry I would be hard pressed to even think of anyone with the Love,Enthusiasm,Intensity,for our sport.He and his legacy has and will continue to touch many lives.I will miss you my Brother,we will have that talk ,ride,and drink together one DAY.

Michael's passing so close to the 25th anniversary of Michael's Harley-Davidson must have special meaning. He is giving us his legacy to carry on. It is up to us to keep making Michael's the best dealership of the best motorcycle in the world. He did something wonderful and we will be grateful to him always.

My condolences to the Leskar family. I didn’t know Michael, but I knew of him through his doting brother, Jimmy. I believe that Michael must have been very central in Jimmy’s life, for Jimmy changed his life to take over Michael’s passion. These brothers are testimony to the strong bond of true brotherhood. Life well done!...Cheers

My condolences to Jimmy and the entire family. This day will be spent reflecting on Mike, the times riding in Minnesota and enjoying life at 529 Lake Ave N.
