Prof. Dr. Dkfm. Helmut Krackowizer, in England also known as "''Mister Rudge''", * April 29, 1922 in Frankenmarkt, Upper Austria, Austria; † October 22, 2001 in Salzburg. He was a former motorcycle racer and motor journalist with an international reputation especially for vintage motorcycles. ==His life== On the morning of 22 October 2001, he died after suffering his 3rd heart attack on Monday 15 October, in his 80th year. His life had been shaped especially by motorcycles but also by automobiles. Born in Austria in 1922, he started to make motorcycle drawings while he was a schoolboy, long before he was able to ride his first motorcycle a 250 cc NSU (at the age of 16). This machine was soon replaced by a 500 cc Norton “International”. During summer vacation he worked as mechanics and went to races wherever he had had the possibility. E. g. in 1932 to one of the first races on the Gaisberg near Salzburg. Also during The Second World War he took all possibilities to ride a motorcycle, to buy one (Rudge 250 cc two valve) - his first racing motorcycle after the Second World War or to rescue one. He had seen the end of that war as fighter controller of the air Signal Corps in a night interception troop - of course on a motorcycle - at Norway. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Helmut Krackowizer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
