Sad sad news

Really sad to hear this news - I had only just read the thread where Benny was talking about Mike's old bike being bought by Banksy, then read this one...

Like loads of other people on here, I never met him personally, only through the forum, but I can tell that he will be sorely missed by all. Rip Benny.

I can;t take it in.. I'm shocked and stunned, and got really upset this morning when I heard...Martin has been helping me out with advise, decals, diaphragms since day 1 and I am too shocked for words..He lived to ride and he rode like the wind..Ride free my friend, good night and god bless...

Tragic loss. Never had the chance to meet or even get to know Martin but from simply reading posts here and on the VTR Owners page on FB as well as his FB itself it seems he was quite a character and i'm sure will be sorely missed by many.

RIP fella, may you now be riding in a better place.
