754 - aka Frank Motschko , Ride in Peace brother
« on: October 15, 2021, 11:06:29 PM »
Only knew Frank through the forums here and hanging out/riding together at the Colorada get together a few years back but we stayed in touch via Instagram which is how I got the sad news today. R.I.P. man, you were a treasure with an unrivaled depth of life experience. Thanks for sharing your awesomeness with the rest of us. You definitely left the world a better place than you found it.

Terrible news. With over 29,000 posts here, most frequent users have seen his posts and probably messaged him about something. He had a ton of knowledge.

Sad to hear. I know he'll continue to ride on two wheels wherever his soul is.

Thanks Kevin..
PS Eventually the thread on the open board should be merged into this one, but the open board has a lot more visibility, so should stay there for the time being, IMHO.

Rest in peace Frank. He was a regular contributor to this board and will be greatly missed.

I feel bad, I'm just catching up to this sad news. On the other boards I kept seeing references to him in the past.
Very sad, I had just sent him an old disc from my Z1 he said he'd like to have.
Rest in peace.
