I did not know him personally, but enjoyed his work. A lifetime of devotion to our sport & his family. For some insight into the man and the influence he's had on motorcycling I refer you to the latest issue of Rider magazine. Greg Drevenstedt E-I-C writes in his column how Evan touched the lives of all who met him. Condolences to his family & friends.
