Can anyone tell me what happened to Tommy Robb?

I thought he was alive and well some body just told me this is not the case?

So far as I'm aware he's alive and well.

Larry will know I'll ring him

Last i heard he was alive and well living in Stretton near Warrington

Alive, well, and as much of a gentleman as ever !!

A real living legend for our age group!
It was great fun watchng him and listening to him with the classic bikes in the paddock at
last years TT.

This is good news.

I met someone today who claimed to be family.
obviously a story teller.

I saw Tommy ride years ago and regarded him highly.

Neil must have had a long racing career because I think he was racing
at the IOM 1985/86.

Might be wrong.
