The following is from the Auer family:
“Hi from Ozzie’s BMW motorcycles in Chico.
We in the vintage racing comunity have lost an icon. Ozzie Auer passed away February 22, 2015. He was 80 years old.
Ozzie and his son Ralph raced BMWs for many years with AHRMA. He was also an AMA sidecar racing champion. He started our shop, Ozzie’s BMW Center with his wife Emmi in 1977.
He is greatly missed.
We would like to invite everyone to a celebration of life Sunday, March 29 at 1:30pm at the Elks Lodge, 1705 Manzanita Ave., Chico, CA. Everyone is welcome.
We will have the racebikes on display and we hope to enjoy the afternoon with our friends in the vintage racing
community.

Ozzie was a fair and tough competitor. What a personality! My condolences to Ralph and the family. RIP, Ozzie.
Still have memories of our great sidecar races with Ozzie in the early 70’s. He was a serious competitor as well as a helpful and friendly guy. RIP.
