Real shame, so young. I understand he ditched Western medicine treatments, in favour of Naturopathic approach.

I still remember him racing when I was a kid over here in England, he was totally one of the 'old school', an absolute charcter funny, irreverant, always lit up a smoke as soon as he finished a race, loved a drink & the dolly birds.

In one race he overtook world champion Kenny Roberts & waved him 'goodbye' as he was doing it.


He was one of the good guys & although it's sad we've all gotta die & he had a better life than most that's for sure.

re the above on natural treatments ... and I am a fan of them ... I reckon cancer is the ultimate warrior (of pain) ... doesn't seem to matter what you try.
