God the sad news this morning. Not only a DT legend 'Knickers' was famously cheated out of a World Championship in the Venezula round of the F750 road race championship. I suppose 'Knickers' and Bazza will be reunited  :'(

When you're young all the various legends like Gary, from all the forms of motocycling, seem to be bullet proof.
It's always a wake up call when we lose one.
Yet another sad loss.
