Sad to hear.

I've used his site many times over the years to maintain and repair my airheads and bricks.  While he could be quite verbose there was always good information.

Godspeed Snowbum.

Fleisher was a generous man who tried his best to share his mechanical and electrical knowledge of Airheads and Bricks via his website.

I'm grateful for his work; it has helped me understand how to keep my Brick in good running condition.

Seemed like a really solid guy, I purchased some items from him a 3 or 4 years ago and he was great to speak with while getting the details ironed out. Godspeed, sir.

I'm sorry to hear that.  He helped me both online and by telephone when i was trying to resurrect my first bmw, an R100RS.  He will be missed.

Snowbum was the master of ugly, overly worded web pages but he did have a lot of good info on his pages if you had the patience to read through it all.

RIP
