FIRST PERSON/OPINION: Via e-mail: Friends, Fellow Racers and Riders, It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness that we must bring you this news. Gene Bazyl has succumbed to injuries he suffered on Sunday July 2, 2006. It was Gene’s wish to be an organ donor and tomorrow, his donations will help to save others’ lives. Gene will leave behind his parents, sister and countless friends. However, he was able to leave this world while doing the thing he loved most in life and in the presence of friends. Those of us that are left behind will sorely miss Gene, but are much better people to have known him and will never forget the joyful memories he has given us. We would like to thank all the people that offered their support to Gene, his family and all of us during this time. It really proves that the motorcycling community is made up of great people who are second to none. Rest In Peace, Brother… Rest In Peace ” Joe, Jenny, Josh, Bob, Dave, Ashli, and Mel James Schipper Calabasas, California
