Got their email today.

Very pleasant person to deal with - he built an impressive business.

My MW parts will mean more to me now and forward.

RIP Martin.
Anyone know what the cause was?

Heard on another site that Martin Wong of MotoWheels recently passed.   Didn't know him personally, but he helped me out with information and advice on several occasions.  Definitely knowledgeable on, and lover of, all things Ducati.

RIP and godspeed.   Dolph

Nice guy.  Did a LOT of business w/MotoWheels while Flight Cycles was going strong.  I do remember him not being terribly thrilled with losing the San Mateo Monster Challenge in November of 2004 to my bike, but...  He was gracious about it all.

Thanks Martin.  God Speed.  (I'm sure the God in reference here actually IS the god of speed...)
