Des Collins - R.I.P. - Malcolm - 19-01-2017 Jack Valentine, Des Collins and Michael Moulai in 2013 It has been reported on Facebook late this afternoon, that Des, one of the Islands great motorcycle racing Supporters/Sponsors has very sadly passed away. Des was co-founder and a partner with Percy in the Wilson & Collins Kawasaki run team for many years and latterly with Ronnie Russel in the Collins & Russel team Rest in peace Des. We at ttwebsite.com extend our sincerest condolences to his family and friends at this very sad time. RE: Des Collins - R.I.P. - Splashdown - 20-01-2017 Bit of a legend was Dessie, and there  will be many who will be sad to hear of his passing. He has suffered such a debilitating disease of late, yet he still made it to the Paddock last year. Ronnie Russell will be particularly sad, and has been a terrific support to Des over the last few years. My sympathy to his family and to Ronnie.
