Its forty years to the day (March 23rd 1981) since the greatest motorcycle racer of all time was tragically killed. His daughter aged 9 was also killed in the tragic accident. The Grand Prix racer, 40, had left his house with his two children Michelle and David to buy fish and chips. On their way home a truck collided with the car, killing nine-year-old Michelle instantly. David survived but two days later Mike died in hospital due to internal injuries. The truck driver was fined £100.
