Great video about a fantastic motorcycle racer. David Jefferies on bike video was what made me become addicted to the Isle of Mann TT. I had never seen someone ride so fast, so smooth. I still can't believe he's gone. Rest In Peace, Legend.
Thank you for posting this video for all of us over 40 to remember him and the new ones to know about a true motorcycle talent.The Big guy that made the Gixxers fly on tt.
This guy was the man he had a couple runs where the clutch just couldn’t handle the power he was putting down combined with his weight being a big fella he was amazing and my hero for sure.
Not a TT goes by where I don't think of him. In '03, we were at Rhencullen when practice was flagged. I was gutted when I found out hours later what had happened.
I've got family in the iom and heard different stories from them and obviously other people aswell but what did you hear exactly? Rip to him though he was my favourite
@@ryanbarratt837 Our group was wondering why no riders had come thru, but was next to a marshal who said there was an incident at Glen Vine- turned out it was in Crosby. Had no idea who was even involved til much later.
@@freefallin6871 yea very sad, I've been reminded by someone recently that apparently there was oil down and David hit it and obviously was off :( not sure if that is true though. Family in the iom just said he was trying to go fasted and was pushing the limits and caught a wall and bits of bike and himself was all scattered over house and garage roofs, absolutely terrible
Seen him at the ulster gp truly a great rider him and Joey went. Head to head truly fantastic race ill.never forget it RIP to these guys
