Dave Owen was a personal friend to many on this site. I spent many evenings in long conversations with Dave, like so many others here. He was the kind of guy you just liked, right away, and the more you talked to him the more you liked him. He gave selflessly to the point of interrupting his life to go out of his way to make sure you had the knowledge you need to proceed on your project.
Dave loved motorcycles from an early age, pretty much like all of us here. He rode and raced friends as a child, pretty much like all of us here. He wanted to know more, always, not about how one thing was a better way, but about why one thing is a better way. A better way to install a bearing. A better way to make a bearing, so that's the one to buy.
It was a hard loss when Dave left us.
