Sputnik was one of a kind... and I had the pleasure of working with him over the years... and partying with him and Gwen over the years as well.
He gave me a cupie doll with a mohawk and signed it back in 2001, I still have it, it sits in front of my computer screen, and that's my mirror... it's like having him here. He was staunch and stalwart and although you may not have like his approach... he did manage to get the job done... his shoes will be difficult to fill!

PS: The bikerrepublic is sending flowers... anybody here wishing to do the same?
