    Re: RIP Dave Owen

    I had met Dave a while ago.
    He was a great guy, and had great knowledge of things that spun fast.
    Was good to talk to someone that could understand what I was saying...

    I had the pleasure of working on a bike that he had done motor work to. Learned much from a guy I had never met.

    For example. This particular GSXR1000 (195hp) blew a clutch rod seal. According to the Suzuki manuals, it's an engine out/split cases job. Oh no, Dave removes the water pump and manages to replace an internally fitted seal through the small opening the water pump left. He would have made a great gynecologist.

    That's okay. My girlfriend was good friends with him and his wife so she came over on sunday to look up more info on what happened and that's how I heard about it, so I set up the info because I knew you would know him.

    Btw how are beth and the baby(getting big I am sure) doing?
