Farewell my friend and Godspeed

In 2002 I started riding motorcycles and except for 4 months learning to ride on a little Suzuki, I have spent all my time riding Moto Guzzis. I have met and made a lot of really good friends solely because of this brand of motorcycle.

Four days ago, on Friday, December 19th, one of my Guzzi riding friends, Steve Lingg, lost his battle with cancer. Steve was the Nebraska Representative of the Moto Guzzi National Owners Club. Steve hosted an annual campout near Alma, Nebraska for us Guzzi loving folk. He was very passionate about these Italian bikes and his passion rubbed off on me and everyone he touched in this life.

This world has a way of taking away some really good people way before it should. Steve, you will be missed....alot. Godspeed my friend.

Steve had a way of making you feel comfortable in a group full of strangers. I enjoyed talking with him at the few rallies I have attended. He will be missed indeed.
