For those who remember Fred Marsh.

Sadly, both the dealership and Fred are no longer here.

Enjoy

I remember sending in a vote on getting Fred inducted into Hall of Fame, Frank W sent stuff out to the members of MGNOC to help.
I never met him but did visit the shop while being up there for my step daughters graduation from law school. Got a T shirt too, couple years later it was done. Good place.

The highlight of my ride to the 2000 IMOC was getting to meet and spend a few minutes talking with Mr Marsh.  Iirc he was over 100yrs old at the time.

I bought parts from Freddie back in the '80's and 90's. I watched him run the hill at Munson, MA on his Norton Commando hillclimber when he was 90 years old. Made it, too. My ex-BIL bought two Guzzis from him new. A '98 hotdog and mustard EV 11 and a 2004 EV 11.
