Adidasguy Patrick Lajko - Passed away Apr 26th 2014

Wow, this is crazy. I am just logging on to the forum now after a short hiatus and I come across a post about a fork brace with an adidas logo in memory of Adidasguy...this is shocking, sad and humbling all at the same time.

I had just received a sprocket cover from him a few months back and installed it this past weekend. In my limited dealings with him I found him to be a great guy. All the best to his family and friends.

The mold was broken after he was made

Rest in peace mate!
You were a great guy and a good help for many times!

[yamahonkawazuki]

I still pm him , I love the guy and miss him. I know he wont reply here anyways for a while I texted his cell too. but I know it will be someone elses cell soon so I stopped that.

my dad called me to say his riding group reported that someone named Patrick died. He called me to confirm the last name and sure enough it was him. I cannot believe it! He was an ATGATT guy.

he was anal about ATGATT. He gave me hell over a few of my goped vids lol

I haven't been on here much since I sold the GS
Shocked and saddened to read this
His videos helped me out.
I laughed so much at the crazy gravel guy videos

no doubt Eh?

It's taken me a month and a half to finally post about this. It's strange. This is my first time experiencing a death in my riding community.

I'd only messaged him a couple times via youtube and here (didn't even realize it was the same person for a while. I can't pretend to have known him like some here do. Hell, the last almost-interaction I had with him here was taken exception to his seeming exception to having characterized him as being a "fan" of  certain brand of chain.

Strange, strange business, this

I took this on the 29th of April with the intent of posting it here. When I got him logged on, the first thing I saw was this thread. I'm pretty sure it's something he would have appreciated.



Ride Safe all.
Rest well, sir.

[yamahonkawazuki]

Yes indeed. Lol he was  a grumpycat fan

I've been away from the forum for a while. But my mind has been on this forum lately and thinking about getting out and riding my motorcycle. So thought I would check in today. I'm at a lost for words! He helped me out a lot even though I'm in Tennessee. R.I.P GOOD BUDDY!!! Very sad right now!!

Was away from the forums for a while. What a loss! Total shock.
I am from Israel and did a few trades with Patrick.

My condolences

I remember that trip...

Man.. Just put decided to finally put my new throttle on the CBR so I threw on some tunes in my garage and pulled out a beer and instantly thought of patrick... Hes here with me wrenchin'!

[GS500F2004]

Oh man...it's been many months since I was last here since I sold the GS500F and bought a CBR600RR but came in here to see what's new. This is definitely not what I wanted to see.

adidasguy was one unique and cool dude, he is irreplaceable -- his videos helped me a lot as it did many others when I was tinkering with the GS500F.

R.I.P adidasguy, we won't forget ya!

Every time this thread pops up,the fond memories come back.I do think of Pat often.The communications we had.Good conversation while tracking down cheap parts.I just wish I'd had the chance to go west and visit him.
