About a year ago, Chaz advertised a pair of Ness mirrors. I thought they looked pretty cool, so I PM'd him about them. He wouldn't take any money, just asked if I had anything to trade. I swapped a pair of leather gloves for those mirrors, then used those mirrors as an excuse to black out the rest of my bike.

I never met him, but he seemed like a genuinely nice guy....The kind of guy I would have liked sharing a ride and a beer with.

Godspeed Chaz.

I'm pretty sure he did. I know I saw pics before.

This is sad news, and a big loss for everyone. He was a great guy, and a standup guy. Great sense of humor, lots of energy, and was always willing to help out anyone. It's a big loss for this forum.

Condolences to his wife and family and friends.

Man, I'm in shock. His genuine excitement always showed in his posts. I was waiting to see if he would ever sell his bike for a Deluxe to see what he would do with a Deluxe.

R.I.P Brother!

Does anyone know his age?
