Intesting Article on Mike Hailwood (Died 23 years ago today)

#1

As caneparo said, it is the 23rd Anniversary of Mike Hailwood's unfortunate and untimely death in a road accident.

I found this article a few weeks ago, written by a close friend of Mike's. I found it very interesting and really touching towards the end.

Please take some time to read it:

R.I.P., Mike.

I don't know what to say about this article. My eyes are full of tears, at the moment. What a heart-wrenching story. I'd heard of Mike many times and knew he was "excellent" on a bike and quite good in a car, but not much more. This story was simply, amazing. Thanks for showing us, Paul.

Play on, Mike.
