While we were friends growing up - he was always his own person with various groups of friends. Well liked, we shared many funny stories of the shit we got up to in those high school years. Ex. Selling Oregano to high school girls and watching them pretend to be high<br />I later moved out to La Jolla - and ran into Biker by accident on the streets of PB. We had a long day of reminiscing (Sp)and talking about our lives. This was around 1999 - and my friend was happy and engaging as ever. While we never really were best of friends, I always had time for Michael and he for me. I know he was sometimes disliked by others - because he could be a bit braggadocios - but all us east coast guys love to bust balls.<br />My heart breaks for his family back in NJ, his wife and young boys.<br />Your Dad was a great guy - always challenged himself and was a good friend.<br />Rememeber the good things - I will.<br />RIP Michael<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11082803.post-8217100298082465562017-03-09T10:08:25.355-08:002017-03-09T10:08:25.355-08:00i grew up with biker in his hometown use to watch ...i grew up with biker in his hometown use to watch him surf on jersey shore ,as we stayed at his families house in lavalette nj rest in peace my brother your memory is always in our hearts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!vandykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14761104602569195210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11082803.post-50743597379350405712016-09-25T15:36:48.875-07:002016-09-25T15:36:48.875-07:00I knew Mike here in New Jersey and he was weird ne...I knew Mike here in New Jersey and he was weird never a typical teen growing up.

I'm a few years younger...Biker was a neighbor. I'm a few years younger, so his well-earned reputation as an innovator and competitor was known to me. I was/am in awe of him, but he was SUPER CHILL. I talked with him dozens of times over a 5 year span. He was ALWAYS HAPPY And willing to work. That man was NEVER afraid to work. Dude could put in work!!! Seriously!!! <br /><br />He had a GREAT smile, and again, as a youngster (30s) I knew he was a legend, an OG, and I acted with respect. But he never fronted an ego or fame. He was and is ALWAYS... Biker.. the MAN, a LEGEND, a self-made man. May God Bless and see his family is successful and healthy in all that hey do! Biker was a great man and Nothing will make him happier than seeing his family innovate, compete, and work. <br /><br />His competitive streak is legendary, pushing himself toward 100mph on a board 2" from cement. I think some think he was aggressive with his competitors, BUT HE WAS NOT. He loved competition and competitors. In my opinion, it was never about the other guy. Biker wanted to push himself, to compete with HIS potential, and I pray his family, his sons, will learn their greatest potential, without fear, because they are loved by their DAD!!! I wish them all GLORY in their push to move on, with respect for his love, his life, his family.LAVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11082803.post-12753830076260321862016-01-23T19:12:02.017-08:002016-01-23T19:12:02.017-08:00I talked to him over the phone about street luging...I talked to him over the phone about street luging back in the 90s at his store.He would take the time to explain it all in detail.Still have a luge and will do it again soon at age 54.He needed special help but it was not there probably.He left a good impression on me that has lasted to this day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11082803.post-31306704751527886762015-12-18T06:22:34.110-08:002015-12-18T06:22:34.110-08:00Hard to understand all the self-righteous outrage ...Hard to understand all the self-righteous outrage at this article, which reports the facts as known.<br />I surfed with Biker; he was a great guy, always upbeat and encouraging. Everyone who knew him knew that. But that's not news and the news is that he took his own life.<br />The article did a good job of presenting his many accomplishments. And those accomplishments make his death even more tragic.<br />It's not up to the writer to speculate about medical issues unless they have been reported. That said, having experienced an almost overwhelming desire to commit suicide as the result of TBI (traumatic brain injury), I can say from experience that the desire is unrelated to personal problems. There is some part of your brain that is temporarily (and/or intermittently) misfiring. Luckily I had someone present to help me talk through it an recognize that what I was feeling was not me and would pass. Which it did.<br />The one really bad sentence in the article was the part about "never recovered from Deegan's ditching;" this type of crap belongs in Gossip Magazine. But maybe that's the age we're living in. If the writer has any ability to learn from mistakes, that sentence will be edited out, because it contributes nothing and does not belong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11082803.post-27792610618549195652015-12-12T23:28:53.796-08:002015-12-12T23:28:53.796-08:00Thank you John for making it clear that Biker was ...Thank you John for making it clear that Biker was going thru a lot w his concussions.Head injuries are no joke.Biker was indeed the man.He did so much for so many of us.We will all miss that guy.Much love to his family.May he rest in peace!
