Just learned of Fred´s passing. My condolences. FRED was a tremendous help in getting my Suzuki back on the road that I bought new in Wadsworth years ago, when he worked there. After having three different mechanics work on my bike, he got it running better than new. We were always going to do lunch, but we never did. I will miss talking to him.
