Thanks for that Nick.
As a simple fan at the time, I admired his talent and fighting spirit.
He was another of those typical Brit racers. The quiet gent who really
got on with it when the flag dropped.
Your memories really added colour Nick.
I must say that I didnt know that Alan worked for your dad.
The image of the 7R was similar to a mate of mine who came to
school on one, complete with a school cap. Very much of the time.

My lasting memory of Alan will be how he gave the MVs run on a
British single. Briliant.

RIP Alan.
