Totally gutted. Allan always came looking for me when he had trouble with the sidecar because i was the mechanic on it years ago when Scrivy owned it.
Sunday as usual, he comes over to our camp, & there we were happily bleeding the cooling system & balancing the carbs on his machine.
Great bloke & always so grateful for a hand.

A totally thankless task (I know they're paid to do it), but never the less, a big thanks from me for your efforts.

Big condolences to the sidecar community.

Just saw the story in the Herald, my condolences to family and friends.

Tragic for sure, but it sounds like he went doing something he loved. Hope his daughter is doing ok.

Truely gutting when a member of your 'family' pays the big price for simply having fun...........................................

and doing nothing different than what we all do.

We will all miss your enthusiasm Allan.
