It is with great sadness the news has come through of young Tommy, s passing

He was killed yesterday lunch time in a 2 bike motocross accident near his home in Calafornia.

We watched him in the 1000 super stock class in the BSB, I remember he had a win plus some other podium places.

Tragic start before the new season.

R I P Tommy.

Well sorry it kinda worked, at least you can see a pic of the young man in question, I thought it would carry the news page in.

Sad news,RIP young man.

It's surprising how many of these lads come to grief in the close season on motor cross bikes ,, don't get me wrong I'm not talking about cases as bad as this scenario, I'm talking generally about breaks, joints out etc.

I guess the lads instinct to tear it up a bit kicks in at some stage.

One of the Thunder sport lads I follow closely is doing his first TT this year has just popped his knee out again, on one of these bikes doing similar.
