Frank Schiddel RIP
« on: May 12, 2026, 01:27:55 PM »
Last Friday, we lost rider/builder/machinist Frank Schiddel. Some of you may have known Frank from rallies and the DeKalb breakfast. His health had been failing over the winter and he left us for a better place, I hope. Miss you old friend!

1st time I met Frank was Daytona bike week at Turn 6. The Norton folks always had a great setup there.
Probably last century!
