What a nice guy Tom is and his whole family.Wiseco was and is a great company and was owned by the Kipp family in Mentor Ohio.Note that is the only sponser on this bike.

For sure Tom was one of the nicest riders in the paddock. I think he rode for just about every factory team at one time or another.

I have to echo the comments above. I’ve known Tom since we were in high school (class of ’87). I have lost communication with him over the years and have been trying to track him down.. I remember when we were in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grade and would travel from race to race on the weekends using the “Wiseco van”. Wow memories!!! One year (’86 or ’87) we went to Daytona, Tom Sr. rode a new Honda Hurricane from the shop in mentor to Daytona so he could break-in the engine before we got it out on the track.. Thanks for the photo.. Great times..
