Chris Pfeiffer - RIP

Post by lostboy »

Saw him at Goodwood, even more mind blowing than the videos all over YT (and elsewhere). Seems he's another victim of mental health issues.

Blimey - I saw him in action at the Zurich bike show years ago. He did make an F800 look cool ...

Sad news. You've got to be good to get a bike named after you!

That's very sad. Saw him doing a stunt show at Donnington, probably nearly 15 years ago, on a Ducati Monster. He was world champion at the time, absolutely awesome, and was happy to chat to us about the bike (which was standard apart from a mod to the oil intake so it didn't starve on the back wheel) and the setup (basically, really low tyre pressures).
