Sadly he passed away on the last 22 january. As many of you will know this famous motorcycle journalist was one of the greatest italian friend of the isle of Man TT races. He raced there in 1960, then, after almost three decades, in 1989. And finally he did some laps during the 1999 official TT practices (that year he also took the start of the 600cc. race).

Last posting from me for about a week, Noble's hospital and a new knee beckon in five minutes time!

Good luck with that Bill!

A sad loss of a TT racer, journalist and supporter, and one in a position to promote the races in a positive way, but especially sad for his family commiserations to them.

Hope all went well with the (h)op Bill.

Don. Yes, that book is the beautiful history of the great love of Roberto for his Honda RC30. A TT race is the best present that a man may do to his beloved motorcycle.

P.S.
My wishes to Bill!
