This is sad news indeed, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family, he will be missed

I did not remember him until I went and saw some of his posts, now I do. My condolences to his family. Sorry that he is permently OFFLINE.

This is truly sad. I can remember when he was a moderator on the version of the sight I originally joined. Whenever over enthusiastic members let their emotions color their posts too much Ibsen was always there with a few words that, in essence, said "Let it go". It's not like the KZ400 world or even the greater KZ world lost a good person. It's more like the whole world lost a good person.

A great loss not only for members here at KZR, but also the Twin Owners site as well. I still recall one of my first searches for carb cleaning info on the old site, and coming across a reference to "Ibbyizing", wondering what it meant?
My deepest condolences to both family and friends, and his insight and experience will be missed by many.

This is a great loss to All bike restorers ,, He will be missed . May you have Christ Peace ..

Very sad news. Rest in Peace Odd Ivar.

Sad very sad news
But Odd Ivar, Ride Safe

I´m so terribly sorry to hear this - rest in peace my friend, you will be missed.

My deepest condolences to family and friends.

A very sad day, he will be missed.

I can't believe it!

RIP Ivar.

So sad. He was so knowledgeable and such a gentleman.

On these pages and other sites where Ivar and I crossed paths, it always brought a smile to my face to see he responded to some post I made. He was one of the first people I communicated with on KZR and his demeanor and knowledge made me decide that KZR was a good place to make into my "hang-out" online. If it wasn't for Ivar, many of my KZ400 questions would still be mysteries to me. He was a friend and colleague who can never be replaced. I will miss him dearly.
