Vale Geoff Duke

Geoff Duke passed away yesterday. For a VMX angle remember he was originally signed by Norton as a trials rider and tried road racing as a lark. The rest is history.

Godspeed Geoff.

An absolute great. I believe the Bultaco "thumb" was a reference to his habit of giving a "thumbs up" whenever he won. J
