Another legend gone

Bryanj:
05:30 and just read that Phil Read has died RIP

SteveD CB500K0:
I knew him reasonably well for a while in the late naughties.

I designed and ran his website from 2007 - 2010(ish).   We fell out as he never paid me (or anyone if the stories are true).

He “took” me to Spa in 2009 for the Classic. Paid my own bills. Spannered a bit. Met Ago and Hertog, Mick Grant is a lovely bloke.

His long-time partner Wendy died of covid. She was great.

Phil was a cantankerous old git at times. Loads of people hated him. He didn’t care.

I remember him competing in the Isle of Man TT when I was a  teenager - he seemed fearless whatever size bike he rode.

Bryanj:
Now im at home, another 13hr shift, i remember his Honda going bang when he was chasing Mike Hailwood on the isle of man, viscous rumours were it was deliberate

Matt_Harrington:
Never met him but I remember his shop in Hersham (where we once lived)
