Could never get into OFAH but I thought he was awesome in Benidorm.

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

Which will probably not mean a lot to most but I probably saw them live more times than any other band. (Shriekback are the second. Me, mosh pit-----> ).

Another Quo member down.

never quite reached the heights I thought he might be destined for.
I was also surprised he was 84 ...

(ps I know it wasn't Cozy Powell really)

Dennis Hutchings, 80

Rest in Peace Dennis. You didn't get to clear your name but the bastards can't stitch you up any more.

Wes Cooley.

Ah,bummer.

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.

I used to love him in the Transatlantic races. He was a proper trier.

Can't find the colour version of it!
Balls of steel!

In an RTA apparently.

The SC1000 dedicated to Smart was a work of art.

We are saddened to share the following media statement on behalf of the Smart family, and our thoughts are with Paul's family, friends and colleagues.
"It is with huge sadness we have report that Paul lost his life in a road traffic collision earlier this afternoon while riding his motorcycle in East Sussex and Kent.
The police and coroner are investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident.
Paul was a hugely popular character in and out of the paddock, and much loved by his family, friends and fans around the world. He was 78.
He will forever be synonymous with Ducati, the Italian brand he propelled to international acclaim with victory in the 1972 Imola 200 race. Paul also shared a special affinity with the Brands Hatch circuit, having lived literally next door in West Kingsdown for many years.
So much more can and will be written in the days and weeks ahead about a life well lived that has been tragically curtailed.
Paul is survived by wife Maggie, son Scott and daughter Paula who kindly request their privacy is respected at this difficult time."

Ah,that's crap.

I'd have thought he was older than 78,he seemed to be around forever.

Bikes giveth and they taketh away.
