Condolences to his family, friends and most certainly his riding buddies! :( It's never pleasant to hear of another rider losing his life, even worse when you know he was just embarking on perhaps his first or perhaps one of many pilgrimages to the Island to watch the things that he is most passionate about race around. I feel especially for the guys who were riding with him.




I know, if it were us and Hoffy was the rider in Question I would have to think about it for a good few minutes before hoping back on the bike to head to the Island! ;)

To be honest, I'm suprised more riders didn't end up in hospital over the course of the weekend. I have never seen so many motorcyclists behaving like halfwits... especially the Victorian riders. Is it someting they put in the water over there?

The Gp attracts a greater percentage of the Lygon St Cafe crew than is normally seen out and about! You know the ones....they think riding down to the beach and back in summer is a big ride! They tend to act like twats regardless of where they are! :roll:

Adidas trackies on an MV Agusta... tsk, tsk, tsk... such poor fashion. It's an Italian bike, ffs, and even if Fila were still sponsoring the factory Ducati team in WSB, there's always Kappa...
