I worked with "Tuna" as he preferred to be called, at Cycle Guide, right up to the point that George Dougherty, the owner, pulled the plug. Charlie was the consummate writer and editor, with a degree from the University of Texas in journalism. Your pettiness makes me wonder what kind of axe you have to grind, and whether you actually knew the guy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759150319624584196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366230834353702090.post-47618375576004333672017-07-03T13:37:45.047-07:002017-07-03T13:37:45.047-07:00Charles and his lovely wife were my neighbours in ...Charles and his lovely wife were my neighbours in Los Angeles some time ago. They were odd but clearly loved each other. There was a lot of sadness in his life. Had you known that his wife in her early forties died in her sleep you might have had some sympathy for him for the way he acted. They were very kind and thoughtful to me. His life fell apart after she died and he moved away. So many cheques came for him after he moved but because he did not have a forwarding address to leave me I kept them for a year and then discarded them. His life was very tumultuous and in death he finally found the peace that had so eluded him.

He wasn't that crusty when we worked together during Cycle's death throes in the early '90s, but he wasn't always a ray of sunshine either, like I was. Hah! Anyway, I had to agree with the guy who broke the news of his demise to me: He's probably way happier now. Godspeed, Tuna.

Ari Henning and Zack Courts are among the nicest, most talented, fun people I know. And Aaron Frank survived the negativity. I know Kevin Hipp less well, but he seems like a real good guy, too. The magazine has turned around.

Though in my limited defense, I'm also fairly certain that I've never met Dean Adams.<br /><br />BTW FWIW, after publishing this story, I got a long email from a very experienced motorcycle journalist (who must remain anonymous) who wrote to tell me, basically, "Good on you for telling it like it was; those guys *were* douchebags."Mark Gardinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02154551041344739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366230834353702090.post-6183673969053241012014-07-09T09:47:01.820-07:002014-07-09T09:47:01.820-07:00Interesting.

But I have heard stories about Adams as well, so it figures. <br /><br />Full disclosure, I own Riding Man, book and DVD, so I'm obviously a man of good taste and high moral standards.

On a side note I don't think I will ask you for a reference in getting a freelance job. Seems although I enjoy your writing maybe some bridges are not just burned but blown to smithereens.
