We have lost Mark Atkinson R.I.P.

I just heard my good friend and fellow Bonneville land speed racer Mark Atkinson has passed away suddenly. A big loss to the land speed and custom bike community. RIP Mark, keep the throttle pinned!

Sorry for the loss of your friend

Good tribute article.

Incredible fabricator, no doubt.

Rest in peace. We need more people like him.
