I guess all you can say is that while not intending to die, they did so living the life, and doing what they loved.
Phil Gurner (Milntown 1975) As a young kid I used to go with my uncle to his friend Jeff (applologies if it's Geoff) Gurner's wood yard. I used to wander off and sneak a look in the workshop round the back and wonder at the contraptions within. I recal a big single with springs on top, quite sure now it was a Manx. I went a few time to see Phil Gurner test his bikes on a local long straight road, and race at Cadwell. I am sure he did not know who I was, just some yound kid wandering about. He was the first person my parents told me had died, and remember him often, possible because I pass the church yard he's burried in most days going to work. I am sure other people have their stories, I just wanted to remember Phil Gurner. Cheers Gaz
lets get this video away before some stuffy nogood dogooders feel it reads like the Somme deathlist and starts a petition too outlaw the races..
Surely the people who view this are Ducati afficienados, and generally appreciate motor sport - the video is on Youtube, so you might ask them to censor it, if that's what you feel? I personally felt that it gives an appreciation of the dangers of road racing on public roads, and all credit to those who chose to risk their lives in pursuit of their sport.
I do catch your drift . And i apllaud wholeheartedly the will to live life to all it can be, the wish to put qual over quantity.. It s just that i am much under the impression that it is just that that we as a whole want to see erradicated.. I feel it s a great vid.. It puts ones nose into it. It being the price one is willing to pay to feel life tingle into ones bones. I just wanted to make the point that instead of instilling redpect, current social media will serve those aiming at numbing us all down .. Cheers to the names !!
