Young Lee Vernon died too racing last Friday, he was only 24 .

True he died doing what he loved, but obviously his family and friends (some who I know) are devastated.

Massive, massive condolences to all concerned.

It certainly makes you think back to the close shaves you've walked away from and how lucky you were to do so.  In my 20's I regularly used to stuff my bike on a bend due to over-enthusiasm.  I bounced a lot better then.
