My Aunt , My dad, and My Granny – ICONIC. ICONS, GODS AND GODDESSES – consider the life someone may have lived fifty years or more and the most traumatic childhood, adulthood. And then, finally either dying of a heart attack or finally dying from an illness, or suicide!! Death is the relief sought by so many and the ones who can’t make it here, usually have a damn good reason why! And, they should be respected in death. They usually were not in life.

You’ve lost credibility long ago

Says the Super nitwit reading a FREE article on a FREE awesome website! You can go elsewhere if you don’t like what you see here, BRO. Tell you what, you go come up with your own hella uber cool blog, let me know how that goes. LOL!

Maybe you’re not old enough or just not involved in the sporting side of the motorcycling hobby, but he certainly was an “Icon”. His riding ability and marketing made him the poster boy for a sector of motorcycling that during his heyday was otherwise entirely comprised of “Ruff Riderz” and dudes with fun fur on clapped out GSXRs. He legitimized stunt riding to the mainstream and importantly, OEM brands. This makes him an icon.

Why? He did not speak ill of the dead. There IS a better place awaiting after death.

Undoubtedly Mr. Pfeiffer was talented. Depression is rough.

Superlatives are over-used. The men listed did quite a bit to be called icons.

Stating facts should not be a reason for being insulted.

Since that comment is getting attention, here’s the hotline number if anyone needs help:
800-273-8255

(I know you linked to their site above but its good to publish the number straight away).

I saw him perform at various road races (Sears, Laguna) here on the West Coast – he led the way to the current area of stunt riding, so icon is the correct term here.
Depression is a powerful condition; I hope others in a dark place can find any help they need.

I had to pick my jaw when I saw the man handle that K1600GT like a BMX Bicycle.

I am agreeing 100% here. I’ve been curious as to WTF is happening to me. Got to get my hormones balanced somehow.

Saw him perform at Laguna and was blown away by the control Pfeiffer had on his bike. He was doing stuff in the Corkscrew that few, if any, other humans could do on flat land at that time. Absolutely gutted to hear of this tragedy. RIP

I saw a YT video of him stunting a white Ducati Monster S4RS. Can’t find the video.

Having been through this, I would encourage men to get their hormones checked early and regularly (from 30’s onwards) and supplemented as necessary. It can make a world of difference to physical and mental health, cognitive abilities and quality of life for you and those close to you. There may be no need to suffer needlessly.

I had the privilege to see Mr Pfieffer perform in different shows. At the time is was new and mind blowing.
The fact he was well known and respected enough for BMW to commission a special edition model in his name speaks for his influence.

RIP to probably the best known original mainstream stunter and a fellow rider.

Death is only sad for those who are left behind. A&R, pay attention, he was not an “icon.” No one in the States (outside of a few who worked with him) even knew he existed. Stop misusing superlatives for every single news item. You’ve lost credibility long ago, grab onto a little you have left. Do you know who the ICONS are on our planet? Mozart, Davinci, Tesla, Alexander Fleming and such.

Icon – a person or thing regarded as a representative symbol or as worthy of veneration.

yup – Chris Pfeiffer qualifies (at least for me). If he was not known in the USA or not, I can not comment, but his influence reached to me from Europe all the way to Asia.
Your mileage may vary

I read this in the voice of a community college sophomore on the cusp of transferring to Uni.
