In the Archives column of the April issue of Cycle News, author Larry Lawrence writes about American Honda’s first employee, George French. The article tells the story of how French went from being a small racing parts manufacturer, to being responsible for establishing the Honda brand in US. What does this have to do with MotoCzysz? Read the excerpt below:
“French mentored under well-known Norton tuner Clarence Czysz. Czysz was a master of fabricating custom racing parts, and French followed in Czysz’s footsteps and moved into manufacturing custom racing parts such as cylinder heads, aluminum pushrods, valve spring collar kits, aluminum sprockets and other lightweight pieces. French called his new enterprise Frenchie’s Engineering.”
