I have learned that a great friend to our community has passed this week due to an accident that I have no details of.
His name is George Gilbert, and I'm sure many of you will know him as the principal of "Team RaceReady" out of Canada.
He was a committed member of our 2-stroke community, and I'm sure he had touched several of you North American members somewhere along the way.
I had the privilege of meeting him at one of our Daytona club rallies a few years ago and I now cherish having had the opportunity to call him a friend.
RIP George...

The passing of a coveted enthusiast - George Gilbert

I don't know what to say, George was a friend before we moved a few years ago and we lost touch. Super nice guy, exceptionally helpful and a talented individual. He let me ride the nicest RZ500 I have ever seen and had 5 of them in his garage at the time. He had gotten away from the bikes to put his son through kart racing, definitely a champion in the making. A tragic loss, sympathy to his young family, rest in peace George.
