Ducati legend Paul Smart has been killed in a road motorcycle accident in Britain. My thoughts are with his wife and family.

That's a sad way to start my morning.

Such memories. I used to try copying his style...

<sigh> I've had a poster of him riding an old Ducati in anger on the Guzzi Garage (tm) wall for 25 years, and I don't really follow any kind of racing. Seeing him killed on a bike is chilling.. RIP, sir, and ride on..
