For those of us who grew up in the '60s... I'd like to think there's a little bit of Carroll Shelby in all of us who like to tinker...
(especially Erik with a "k")

I figured he wasn't going to be much longer for this world, given how old he was, but I kinda hoped he would keep on keepin' on.

Sad but not really a shock, he had not been looking good the last few years. A legend for sure

He went out with a bang with that Shelby GT 1000. Sick car. RIP.

A great innovator. Engineering genius. A love for racing. Creator of sophisticated American muscle. Eric Buell is the Carroll Shelby of motorcycles.
