Sad loss indeed! He was an icon that we could all learn from. Interesting tribute in their local newspaper, with info that only bike enthusiasts on this continent would relate to, and it's everyday conversation over there. Fabulous accomplishments in his life, and I was particularly impressed with the 350cc endurance record set with a 250 T20 at 91 mph average for "24 hours". The Hustler was my first bike in 1967, and that pretty much makes him a hero in my books. Enjoy the moments when we can. Cheers.
