Sad indeed!

I have no less than 4 of Rods painting in my living room.
"Flying six" Hailwood going over Ballaugh on the Honda Six.
"No ordinary Joe" Joey going into Quarry bends.
"Classic Paddock" a kid of stylised picture of Brands with Mike, Bill and Phil arounf a Yamaha. This also contains a pic of Rod himself, and his then girlfriend.
Finally, "Flying Scot" The great Bob Mac at the bottom of Bray on the Gilera.

I collected the Joey one from Rods home in Fawley and we had a good chat about his pics, especially "Classic Paddock"

He was full of enthusiasm and, I believe, had a fair riding record himself. Think he raced over the mountain, and I KNOW he did some hairy stuff across country, soemwhere abroad.

Thanks for all the pleasue Rod and RIP.
