A Great Motorcyclist Passed away

Post by Bob Lee »

As many of you knew Floyd Turner, it is with great sorrow that Floyd has passed away. Floyd would have been 84 years young June the 21st . He has been fighting cancer now for sometime. Floyd was one of few that knew and understood how to install a sidecar on a motorcycle. He and his boys, Leonard and Jim, ran a motorcycle shop on South Hydraulic St. here in Wichita many years ago. Floyd was a great motorcycle racer and everyone at the race track knew him. Services for Floyd are scheduled for May 3rd at 9:00 am at the Old Mission Cemetery on east 21st St. in Wichita where he will be buried next to his wife Margaret. Floyd will surely be missed.

Sorry to hear that Floyd has passed away...He was icon of motorcycling and a great individual.. I had the privilege of having Floyd set up a sidecar for me years ago and sharing time with him as he worked meticulously on the sidecar will always be a treasured experience.

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Floyd but I feel the loss of another motorcyclist. God speed.
