Lucien Tjen a Tak

9 years 10 months ago - 9 years 10 months ago

Hi all

just noticed that one of the good guys are gone. Lucien Tjen a Tak, though chosen the wrong brand, chose the right engine-type
and just a while ago (at least it feels like that) I was sharing pizza with him on the Brokdorf rally up in northern Germany.

Though a bit older than myself you never noticed the difference nor the his age at all.

RIP - you will be remembered

11.02.1942 - 28.06.2014

Hi Bill

not much, he was from the Netherlands and did quite long trips for his age, soft spoken guys that used to be still young. I met him whenever I went up north to the sixcylinder-rally beginning of May each year. He focussed on the simple things, beer & the bike and I really did like him.

Thats why I posted, just to ake sure he is not forgotten.
