TRIBUTE

[666]

It is with sadness that i tell you that a great friend of mine and fellow s/car racer from the 60's Mick Rocco died on the day of The Classic S/C race on IOM. He raced a 1000cc Vincent and the mogvin .A lot of you will know him as the owner of the shop in Strand Street Port Erin IOM. The one with the Vincents in. R.I.P Mick. John

That's really sad news John, my sympathies go out to all of his family and friends, he was great mate of mine as well. First met Mick in the 60s when he was one a number of drivers who chose Vincent power, he was a popular bloke, especially for his legendary fibre glass skills. Later on he had two motorcycle shops in Holloway and Highbury, north London, he also helped us quite a lot when I returned to racing. Apart from his love of racing and bikes his other passion was the singer Mario Lanza, he had just about everything thatLanza had ever recorded, often played at a fair old volume in his workshop at the bottom of his garden

RIP Mike.

I am so sorry to hear this. We shared a passion for Vins and Mario Lanza, although I didn't really know him that well. RIP Mick... you will be sadly missed in Port Erin.
