I spent all of this years Manx with Jamie as my father tunned his 350 Honda. It was the first time I ever saw him in person and I could not of wished to meet a better bloke. He was laughing all the time and joking. It was his first time on a classic and the handling of the bike was terrible and we all tried to solve it all week but it never came right, he did not moan or complain once, he said to me if he had a BMX for the race he could go faster. He was such a likeable person.

If you saw him in the street you would never know that he was a star in the racing world.

Gone but never ever forgotten.
