R.I.P. Phil Read
« on: October 06, 2022, 11:53:11 AM »
Controversial he was, but his 7 world titles were no mean feat.
Not many know that he won also the 1977 TT with a CB750 based racer, 
On top, he kept riding on track until a very advanced age on a Paton.

 RIP Phil Read MBE, member of the british empire, sort of like being knighted. I had to look it up.
