He was--and he died on one, too.
2013 PCX 150 [now an ex-bike, soon to be consigned to the bottom line of the sig]
2013 Silver Wing ABS (Black)
1971 BMW R75/5 (White)
Too many ex-bikes to list, and, besides, who really cares what we used to own?

Yes. Head injury. No helmet. His death and the resulting publicity was one of the main reasons helmet wearing was mandated in UK.Bash On! wrote:He was--and he died on one, too.

Re: good docuvideo on history of motorcycling
I just finished this vid. I couldn't stop watching. A lot of old film footage and good description of the British motorcycle scene for the first 60 years of the last century.
What beautiful bikes they built way back then! One of them, a Vincent Black Shadow 1951 version, sold a few years ago for 136,000$. A Brough Superior recently went for 380,000$. How's that for holding value?
