    Ol Deuce

    For those of you who knew Ol Deuce (Randy Mead):


    Bad news from Billings, Mt.

    I’m fighting back tears as I write this. Friends, acquaintances, three wheeler community: please reach out to Randy Mead’s wife Barb and show your support for our mutual friend. Ol Deuce is not going to be with us much longer. One of the most interesting human beings I’ve ever had the pleasure of speaking to, nicer than anyone could imagine, faster than anyone in the three wheeler community (Bonneville legend), and built some of the most memorable trikes in our community (200x with Yamaha 175 motor with dg head, 86 200x “super X” and his fully suspended HPATC110 and he is responsible for the atc90/110 stem adapter for 200x forks). Please include him and his family in your prayers this evening

    Thank you

    God bless Randy and his family. Never met him in person but purchased his stem adapter and then found out his love of old Hot Rods. Spent many hours on the phone talking about his Hot Rod business and the many options I could do to mine. We are losing a wonderful person. Praying for Randy and Barb.

    Man that is sad to read. I too enjoyed his knowledge and his awesome attitude he shared with us. His picture in his signature on here(with him and his fleet) has always stuck in my head and always will. We're praying for them.

    This is sad news to see after looking up his Super X build to use as a guide for my own build. I Had Randy on facebook and loved seeing his pictures he posted from back in the day. He was a great wealth of knowledge and genuinely good guy and will be missed.
