Richard H Kirk age 65. 50% of Cabaret Voltaire. :(

A genuinely nice person, former AMA Superbike champion, after retiring from bike racing he was a nurse for many years, most of the peop!e he worked with knew nothing of his bike racing past, his wife was surprised when they were guests at a bike show that everyone wanted to talk to him.
