I was saddened to hear of Keith's passing today on the Born Loser MC blog (see pictures of Keith Moore). Moore's Cycle Center was the one-stop shop for any Triumph Parts you needed, pre-unit or unit and anyone with a Triumph in Southern California knew Keith. I remember his Lucky Strike unfiltered cigarettes he smoked in the shop as well as the complimentary pretzel sticks. Keith was always very helpful and had a good sense of humor as well as a great stock of needed parts.
My most notable memories of Keith were him joking with me about taking forever to get my bike running, which was true, as well as I recall riding in years ago on a stock 1956 T-110 with just the header pipes and Keith said, " Now that's how a Triumph is supposed to sound!".
He will be missed by many. (Below is one of his business cards I have had stashed away in my wallet.)
