    Mert Lawwill, star of On Any Sunday, 1969 Motorcycle Grand National Champion, and Pro Cruiser designer, has passed away at the age of 85 in his home state of Idaho, surrounded by family and friends.

    A 1969 Grand National Champion and inductee into both the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame and the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame, Lawwill built a legacy that bridged motorcycles and bicycles—becoming a motorcycle icon and a pioneering force in modern bicycle suspension design—while inspiring a devoted following that spans generations.
