I only know his friend Ivan texted me that's all he knew rt now. RIP Ted Allen 🙏 😢 you were always fun to talk and deal with. Ride on, brother.

His friend Ivan Rodriguez and his girlfriend went to visit him today. They were going to help him pack up a few things. He was about to move to the Philippines. He was excited about it and looked forward to it. They found the door open and him unresponsive on the floor. Called tge police and unfortunately he was already gone. RIP 🙏 Ted Allen.

Bill, thanks for posting. I had been in touch with Ted about meeting up in the Manila area in Spetember. He had his spot picked out and was very much looking forward to the transition. I was looking forward to meeting him the first time.

RIP Ted

I went to Ted's a few times to get parts and had a great time with him in 2020 and 2021. He was a lot of knowledge. Going to miss him. Ride on Rickey Racer.

Rickey Racer's last name is not Allen??

Sad news, another dwell of knowledge has left the SOHC forums.
It is the forum name Ricky_Racer, right?
Age 77...

R.I.P. Ted Allen

I had done business with Ted several times over years, and I always made the checks out to Ted McCarty!?? His middle initial was A.

CycleRanger · « **Reply #8 on:** July 22, 2024, 06:47:08 AM »

Well,damn. That's sad. He sounded pretty excited about his move to the Philippines.

Stu, did that come from Fakebook? Maybe it was a nom de plume? Ricky_Racer did live in Lakeside, and that is his phone #.

He was almost on his way in the next few days. He said he was going with his brother-in-law to pick out a place he had found to live in. We were talking about a dinner steak house meeting that the ex-pats do monthly in September. He left this world on a high note.

I second and verify that phone number

That came from Ted himself for me to contact him.
I think I remember though he may have said Mcarty as his last name for checks

Scott, I only spoke with him once in the past month or so with 2 or 3 PM's prior. Ted and Ricky Racer.

I passed this info along to the contact at the Philippine Retirement Authority as Ted Allen. She had no client with that name and came back and asked if he is possible Ted Allen McCarthy.

seanbarney41 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 22, 2024, 11:16:44 AM »

Well then...sad news. I also had many dealings with him, although never met him in person. He was always a pleasure to deal with...so much unobtainable knowledge. I could always tell that he really did not want to let go of his motorcycle collection, but was very happy to find others that appreciated his stuff. Condolences to all who knew him.

I've dealt with Ted numerous times through the forum here. Always pleasant to deal with and always seemed to have the coolest parts! If I lived on the West coast I would likely have purchased a great many more items from him. I know he was looking forward to retirement...

Godspeed.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #21 on:** July 22, 2024, 07:37:31 PM »

Ted did say he had some sort of deal for the bike and/or engine. Can't say if that materialized.

Stev-o · « **Reply #22 on:** July 23, 2024, 07:59:30 AM »

Sad to hear, I dealt with him as well, always a pleasure.

RIP RR.....

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #23 on:** July 23, 2024, 06:45:59 PM »

If anyone runs across an obituary, etc please link me to it. I'd like to forward it to the powers that be in the PRA, Philippines Retirement Authority where Ted was applying for a SRRV, Special Resident Retirement Visa. If he had gotten very far into the process he may have funded the required bank account which is some serious change his heirs would deserve.

Ricky saved our butts a couple of years ago when we found a broken upper triple tree for a 70' CB 450. We bought one off of Fakebook and got ghosted for$50. Ricky sold us a complete triple tree assembly for the same $50 as we lost.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #25 on:** July 25, 2024, 03:56:04 PM »

Ted was a great guy, and very honest. I bought heaps of parts from him and the prices were always fair, as was the shipping. Sad news. RIP Ted.

BenelliSEI · « **Reply #26 on:** July 25, 2024, 06:07:38 PM »

Sad news. I got some excellent bits from him. Fair and square deals.

nippon · « **Reply #27 on:** July 29, 2024, 10:16:25 AM »

Really sad to hear that my friend and business buddy back in the day passed away. Tried to call him yesterday several times, and was concerned, because i heard only the voice machine.
We shared the fun, excitement and passion for our projects since 2006. Rest in peace, my friend. Trully, you were a brother of a different mother.
What a sad day.

Thomas

scottly · « **Reply #28 on:** July 30, 2024, 10:17:38 PM »

Thomas, when were those pictures taken? Have you had any luck getting in touch with Ted's close friends or family?
My first interaction with Ted was concerning how to form CR style megaphones. If I recall correctly, you two had found someone to fabricate them, but the cost was very high, and you only had a couple of sets made, if that? I mentioned that my buddy Henry had been using a hydro-forming technique, where a thick block of rubber was pressed onto sheet metal placed over a lead mold, and did a quick forming of a couple of handy items to show how it worked. At that time, Ted asked that we take the conversation off-line, which led to our first telephone conversation.
Our first business deal was when I sold Ted the finned K1 exhaust clamps from my Seeley, after I made lighter versions.

PS The forming picture was taken Sept 2010.
