RIP Mr Fix It. Geoff did many good things for so many people and will be sorely missed by all who met him. God Speed Buzzbomb.
I remember watching On any Sunday years ago and instantly liked Romero although I never saw him race. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.morebikes.co.uk/58290/motorcycle-legend-gene-romero-has-died/amp/

RIP Nikki. Legend indeed. I'll never forget James Hunt saying 'first bloke I've met that's better looking after having his face burnt off' Gold!
Just reading his wife donated a kidney to him after one off his brother failed, I’ve had women who wouldn’t pass me the fucking salt....true love that, chokes me up, tough fella obviously bloody good in a proper dangerous era.
Saw the man race a couple of years in succession at the South African GP at the original Kyalami circuit. Legend indeed! RIP Niki.
Bless him, really genuinely respected Nikki, such a straight talking yet thoroughly likeable man. Rip
Anyone that walks away from a accident like that and jumps back into the car within a few rounds is a bit special.RIP
What a shame I hadn’t thought that he hadn’t been at the recent f1 races till now , another legend gone
