RIP!

I bet he would get a better and longer career if he had a better machine into his hands

RIP Roy.

I remember going to Goodwood as a kid, and I seem to remember he was racing there. I met the late Barry Sheene that day, too.

Ah no. RIP Roy. :cry:
The 1990s were better. Fact. And you bloody well know it.
