If you spent endless days thumbing through all the old motorcycle magazines , as I did, you no doubt knew who Peter Egan is. Like many others, I was a huge fan of Mr. Egan and looked forward to his monthly articles , his wit and his humor. When he abruptly retired years ago, making some veiled references to his health, I was concerned that he was gravely ill. Today just on a whim I started searching online to see if I could find out how he’s doing. I found a very good article from two years ago. If you are a fan it might interest you.

“Only a few years ago, he wouldn’t have had the energy for such a schedule. He struggled with a delayed onset of Hepatitis C that he’d acquired from a dirty immunization injector while in the infantry in Vietnam. Interferon treatments wiped him out for months at a time, but a new medication has cured him completely and restored his vitality. “I spent about a year of my life feeling really sick,” said Peter. “Now I feel great.”
Long live Peter Egan!

When I did subscribe to that magazine, it was one of my favourite columns. Do you guys remember the article about measuring a gearhead's enthusiasm level by the number of cylinders in his possession? The guys with the radial engine aircraft apparently always won that contest. Great reading!
