It is true about the sidecar family - you can stop racing but you can never, ever leave!

NH was killed in a first lap crash in the '66 Dutch TT, just a month after he'd crashed at the TT where his passenger lost his life. His passenger at the Dutch, Ray Lindsay did the following year with Colin Seeley.

Thanks for a quick reply John - how on earth did I not know that NH had died in '66. Always another gent from the era.
