Such sad news to hear from over the ditch. The sidecar community is small so I know the guys & gals here will be wanting to send their condolences to Alan's family & his many friends & fans.
I know next time I get to go out it will be with renewed respect for my rider & fellow crews.

I also want to send a big to all the fans who were there on the day. You are in my thoughts too.

Sorry to hear this news, Condolences to the family and RIP Alan,

Sidecar Bob and I will be going to the funeral. We have both decided to donate our Paeroa prizemoney (in lieu of flowers), as the family would prefer donations to the Helicopter Rescue Trust in Alan's memory.
We both encourage other sidecar competitors to do the same. Who knows, we may also need their services one day.
I will be taking the funds to the funeral in an envelope.

Good on ya mate! I have suggested to the Paeroa PT that they donate all the unpaid prize money from the races that didn't go ahead to the family.

We were having a great 1st race with the Satherleys. Alan came and shook hands with Grandpa & I.
He mentioned to some other friends he was out to have another good one with us for the 2nd race.

RIP My friend.

I just found out about this. Dunno what to say. Its gutwrenching to hear that such a genuinely nice guy has gone.
My heartfelt condolences to the entire family. AND to the entire sidecar family he was a member of.

Cant say I'm good with words, but Alan will be missed. I'm proud to have known him and raced with him.
