Mert Lawill competed in the AMA Grand National Championship from 1962 to 1977. He won in '69 as a member of the Harley Davidson race team. He was also one of the stars in the film "On Any Sunday" with Malcolm Smith and Steve McQueen.
After his racing career he designed motorcycle frames and then pioneered mountain biking frames. From there he went on to develop prosthetic limbs for amputees to help enable people to ride on bicycles and motorcycles who couldn't do it otherwise.
A remarkable guy. I really enjoyed doing this piece and meeting people who find a way to contribute to bettering peoples plight.
