Geoff Duke O.B.E. R.I.P.
There probably aren't many posters on this forum who saw Geoff Duke race as his career was relatively short but no less memorable. You will no doubt be aware that he passed away last weekend at the age of 92.He made his name in the early 50s on works Nortons which he rode with perfection,picking the perfect line consistently lap after lap.He then went on to ride for Gilera and won the championship with them.He was a perfect gentleman, I remember him signing his autograph for me and asking my name unlike Bob McIntyre who was my idol who said " f*** off can't you see I'm busy".
