Alan new Patrick very well, so I think that should be close to accurate. Although you got the years wrong I think, Patrick passed away in Nov 2018.
I knew him a little, I met him first in 2007. I really liked him, he had ‘his ways’ and could sometimes be a little, well you know, ‘French’ but he was a true artist IMHO, and you’ll never meet anyone with more passion for Vincent’s than he had. His knowledge of them was pretty huge too, and his long, long list of fixes and improvements, large and small was impressive. All of this lives on, Godet Motorcycles are still trading and still busy, I was there last September and the shop looks, feels, smells just as it always has.
Actually Fritz licensed Godet motorcycles, and ONLY Godet Motorcycles to use his name, hence they are actually ‘genuine’ Egli’s.
