Jay Eshbach of APE passed last week

Jay started APE way back when performance bikes were just starting out.  He will be greatly missed.  I've included a link to a very nice write-up of Jay and APE.  I had the good fortune to meet Jay a number of times at shows - and spoke to him many times over the years.

Jay Eshbach

His son Ben is going to continue APE.  A great legacy to remember Jay by.

RIP Jay, you will be missed by everybody in the KZ world.

He has a lot of his parts in motorcycle engines all over the world. I was on here when he was posting mostly about engine related stuff, his knowledge was vast. A big loss especially for the drag racing community.
