Yer Maun - One Year on - Anonymous - 02-07-2001
It's true what everyone says - you'll never forget where you were or what you were doing when you heard the news about Joey's death.
I'd been out on the bike all day and found out via the internet. I remember reading the press release and subsequent messages with a complete sense of disbelief - it took a fair while for it actually to hit me. What an absolutely awful day. One year on and what can I say? I still have a sense of disbelief in a way, as when I watch the TT videos it seems like he's still here.
I just like to think that Joey is having a great time on a brilliant racetrack "up there", racing with all the other late greats (Hailwood, etc).
My thoughts are with Joey's family on this day.
