Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of Kevin. Kevin was a frequent costumer in our Store and I enjoyed our conversations on a shared passion for motorbikes. He would always keep me updated with lastest addition or modification he had done on his trike. I will missed that.

Fly free wing buddy. You were a great mate and we had some great times. It seems like yesterday we were boys, how time passes so fast. I couldn't make it mate, but watched your send-off. Born to be wild and free. Arohanui e hoa.
