Images for Gloomy Sunday, Lazarus Blackstar, Black Sun & They Are Cowards are now online. Some of you may have also read on my forum, my camera died half way through Heavyfest IV in Bradford last Saturday, but as soon as I've got my persky exams out of the way, I hope to get what pics I took online before I set off to the Isle Of Man on Wednesday night.
Although this is not a motorcycle website, I would like to pay tribute to Robert Dunlop who tragically lost his life on Thursday evening at the North West 200 practice in Northern Ireland, as an enthusiastic road racing fan, I was sadden to hear the news, especially as it came just under 2 weeks after the tragic death of rising Irish Road Racer Martin Finnegan at the Tandragee 100, so my deepest sympathy goes out to both the Dunlop & Finnegan families, RIP & God Speed Robert & Martin!
You can also read the tributes left for Robert Dunlop on the BBC website here.
