Title: Iron Mike Duphiney
Post by: TOMB on February 23, 2022, 03:20:51 PM

It seems like yesterday that Iron Mike passed away, Time marches on as some people say.

Mike passed away six years on this day, so I'm just putting a small notice here for the rest of his close friends in the Guzzi world.

Yes Tom, he was a good guy. And you were a good friend to him.
Miss those fun times at Marcus Dairy.
Tom, believe as I do. A time will come when we'll be with our loved ones, family and friends again.

Sure doesn't seem like 6 years. I forget how many years he rode to Italy, TX. Some of his ashes are spread in IT-lee, (that is how you pronounce Italy in Texas) and other ashes are spread, well I can't say.

Iron Milke one of the many fine riders I've met since I started riding Guzzi in 1971.

That is a fact. One day you are 50, then you look in the mirror, and you are 80.
Thanks for the remembrance, Tomb.

Never met him but I did some comment /conversation, and through you, Tom, I felt I had some knowledge on a great fellow.
