Not nice when these people die. I have no clue of who he was but i understand that it sucks pretty much when they are suddently gone!
But don't worry, he just leveled up a notch so he's not completely gone. I know this is true because ghosts DO exist, nothing i'm making up to sound special or anything, i really know for sure. Smile

For those of us who know Robert and those who know of Robert, we all know he was the undisputed King of 2 strokes.

He was a lucky chap when the rim of his back wheel broke away from the spokes on that RC30 during the TT. He didn't ride a big bike after that and stuck to the smaller strokers.
Another sad loss, RIP Robert
