Pat Owens (1935-2011), affectionately known as "Mr. Triumph," joined the staff of Triumph of America in 1959 and soon worked his way up to Western Service Manager. A good off-road racer and even better tuner, he also served as Johnson Motors' racing manager, preparing flat-trackers, road racers and desert sleds for the likes of future Hall of Famers Gene Romero and Eddie Mulder. Owens left Triumph in 1971 to become lead motorcycle instructor at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, where he helped train a generation of competent bike mechanics. In his spare time Pat put more that 500,000 miles on a 1970 Bonneville T120RT, often with wife Donna behind, including their last big trip to Alaska and back.
